Bob the bird is just like all his friends, apart from his skinny legs. When Bob is teased, he decides to try and change himself to fit in. But little does he know where all his efforts will lead him… An affirming picture book for age 3+ about the power of art and of being confident enough to be yourself.
‘First and foremost, it’s a dazzling example of a picture book illustration
with bold graphic design along with a clear sense of what children
(but really anyone) will enjoy looking at.’
- The New York Times
‘She reminds us that the goal for a kid who is different
should not necessarily be to fly under the radar.
For the bullied, creativity, sparkiness and ingenuity
can be another way to go.’
- The New York Times
‘Bob the Artist is a charming tale that will no doubt resonate
with children, parents and birds with bright red beaks, alike.’’
