Just Being Ted

This beautiful touching picture book is even more relevant and essential during these uncertain times. Young readers are no doubt struggling with loneliness, changes in routine, social restrictions all of which will take their toll in some small way. This sensitive and sweet picture book approaches themes of loneliness and feeling shy with charm. Lisa's debut picture book shows an understanding and insight into a sometime tricky subject in a subtle and thoughtful way.

Ted the dragon lives all alone in a big house, deep in the woods. He LOVES making things, spending his days baking cakes, painting pictures and creating costumes. There's just one problem: he doesn't have anyone to share his amazing creations with. Ted tries so hard to make friends with the other animals, but there's something about his fiery breath and fearsome-looking claws that keeps putting them off.

A delight and one which will hopefully make a positive impact on your little dragons, especially in the build up to a new school year.
