Little Answer

"What makes the world go round?" "Sausages!"

"What makes the wind blow?" "Sausages!"

"Where does everything come from?" "Sausages!"

Little Answer is desperate to find his question. But there’s a big problem – his answer is “Sausages”! What question could possibly have such a silly answer?

Children will love helping Little Answer to find his question in this wonderfully funny, interactive story.

Just as the orange bird brightens Yeti’s world, these two will warm the hearts of young readers. Told with exceptional economy and striking art, this tale of an unusual friendship is a great choice for all libraries.

—— Mary Jean Smith , Southside Elementary School, Lebanon, TN

Shireen writes with admirable restraint and fills in the narrative gaps with engaging illustrations. Her double-page spreads create potent atmosphere with carefully placed strong shapes and forthright color. Spot illustrations effectively convey easy-to-understand action and humor. Striking visuals that combine compelling use of shape, page design and color successfully carry this version of an oft-told story.

—— Kirkus

A giant white teardrop of a beast, Yeti is the loneliest monster around. Until, that is, a lost tropical bird drops in. It's a joy to witness pensive Yeti making a new friend, as is watching him learn that he belongs somewhere. The striking visual contrast between Yeti and the bird makes every page a treat, enlivening what might otherwise have been a melancholy story. Each page has a strikingly different palette, accentuating a range of feelings from isolation to coziness. Kids who themselves feel lonely or worried will be glad to hug Yeti and the Bird to their chests.
