Zanzibar

An uplifting, warmhearted early chapter book about a crow, who proves you can move mountains (or even dromedaries) and perform truly heroic deeds if you believe in yourself

" Zanzibar feels like a cross between Gecko Press favourites Yours Sincerely, Giraffe and Bruno β€”it has character, wonderfully dry humour and a unique charm." Julia Marshall, Publisher

Zanzibar cooks a fine mushroom omelette, and he is a crow who wears his feathers well. At least he thought so, until a spectacled lizard knocks at his door, wanting to write an article about a remarkable person. Is Zanzibar remarkable? The lizard seems to doubt it. Zanzibar thinks: To be remarkable, I must achieve something incredible, an extraordinary feat. So he decides that’s what he’ll do. His feat will be an attempt to lift a dromedary.
