A mesmerising illustrated young fiction offering from Polly Ho-Yen & Sojung Kim-McCarthy, perfect for early readers.
When Ziggy goes to sleep in his new bed at his dad's house, he wakes up in the middle of the dark and scary night forest. When even sleeping at his mum's house doesn't help, he is forced to face his fears... but maybe that scary forest isn't as scary as it sounds
Deals with themes of divorce/separation & night terrors through Polly's poetic and gently magical lens, accompanied by black-and-white artwork by Sojung Kim-McCarthy.
Polly Ho-Yen used to be a primary school teacher in London and while she was teaching there, she would get up very early in the morning to write stories. She lives in Bristol with her husband and daughter.
