The book by Gemma Cooper (writing as Bobbie Brooks) and illustrated by Carrie Hennon has been awarded the 2022-23 BookTrust Storytime Prize. It is one of six shortlisted titles, voted for by librarians and families who took part in the BookTrust Storytime scheme, which ran for nine months in over 2,000libraries across the country.

Now in its second year, BookTrust Storytime was designed to support libraries across England and Northern Ireland to inspire and engage families with children under the age of five to share stories and visit libraries as part of their ‘family reading journeys’. The programme focuses on support for low-income families.
