Description

NOTABLES, 2021 CHILDREN’S BOOK COUNCIL OF AUSTRALIA BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARDS, PICTURE BOOK

For anyone who has ever wished for a party every day of the year, this is a story about finding your own reasons to have cake.

Christopher Robin had Pooh. Calvin had Hobbes. Audrey has Lion. This is the story of two friends learning the joy of celebrating the every day because sometimes it’s important to enjoy things like Tuesdays, coconuts, orange, purple, and lions.

Universal theme: Every child will respond to the idea of celebrating all of the days that aren’t his/her birthday.
Fans of Freya Blackwood, Anna Walker, Polly Dunbar lions, and cake will warm to this timeless, classic story of friendship.
Edwina Wyatt and illustrator Tamsin Ainslie are CBCA Notable winning creators whose work has been published internationally.
