Description
Mandy is a banana. A yellow, bendy, half-moon-shaped banana.
The problem is, Mandy doesn't want to be a banana. She would rather be a prickly pineapple like Pedro, a round watermelon like Wilhelmina, or — frankly — ANYTHING other than a banana.
It takes a plucky little blueberry called Blip to help Mandy focus on her 'haves' rather than her 'have-nots' and to celebrate what makes her so unique, so bendy, so brilliant and so absolutely, utterly... BANANA!
A quirky celebration of learning to love the skin you're in, featuring an all-star cast of fruit-bowl friends. Heartwarming and funny in equal measure, Mandy is Still a Banana is guaranteed to be a hit with little ones and adults alike.

About the Author
As the daughter of a soldier, Zoe Arena spent a great deal of her childhood travelling where she heard all sorts of stories and noticed the power of words in bringing people together. She now writes wonderful stories of her own. She has a degree in Media Writing and lives in Kent.
Amy Evans is an illustrator who loves working with traditional media and print to 'make a mess' before using digital processes to give energy, movement and character to the every day. She is also a lecturer at Wolverhampton School of Art. When she is not illustrating or lecturing, Amy enjoys listening to podcasts, running and relaxing with her pet greyhound. She lives in Wolverhampton.Also by Zoe Arena
