Description

Let your imagination fly with the stunning new picture book from Em Cosh, creator of Kip and the Squiggledoodle.

Featured: The Bookseller‘s 10 Books Not to Miss, May 2026

Have you ever received a gift that has changed your life?

When shy dancer Jay is given a beautiful scarf, a magical transformation begins to take place? Blown by the wind, the scarf unravels, music can be heard, extraordinary flowers bloom – and so does Jay, who casts aside their fears and begins to dance?

? A joyful story about confidence, creativity and belonging

? From rising-star creator Em Cosh

? Playful rhyming text – great for reading aloud

Praise for Kip and the Squiggledoodle:

‘One to relish reading aloud ? Fun, as well as poignant’ – Imogen Carter, Observer Picture Book of the Month (May 2025)

‘With shades of famous nonsense poets, Em Cosh’s writing is as playful and inventive as their illustrations in this vibrant picture book celebrating children’s boundless imagination.’ – Harry Woodgate, creator of Little Glow and Grandad’s Camper
