A clever, funny, visually stunning illustrated book about identity, self-expression, and refusing to be defined by just one thing.

Meet Squirrel. Squirrel is LOUD. Meet Bird. Bird is quiet. They are complete opposites. And that’s all you need to know. The end. Or maybe not . . . ?

This smartly crafted story upends labels, proving that no one can be summed up in a single word. Written with spirit by Laura Baker and illustrated by the young talented Stacey Thomas, this playful and provocative book will have children discovering hidden meanings on every page. A joyful celebration of self-acceptance, it encourages and empowers children to embrace every part of themselves – loud, quiet, or somewhere in between.

Perfect for fans of Tom Percival’s Perfectly Norman, Rob Biddulph’s Odd Dog Out, and Christian Robinson’s You Matter, this beautifully illustrated book features a contemporary, limited color palette that makes each page a work of art. A must-have book for parents, teachers, and anyone seeking inclusive picture books that build confidence and promote authenticity.
