Description

Welcome to the picture book world of Lucy Fleming! An adorable series that celebrates the hidden magic of nature – perfect for children aged 3-5 years and fans of fairies and fantasy, and super cute miniature worlds filled with wildness and wonder!

Through stunning illustrations, readers will be transported to a rocky island where, amongst sea-birds, lives a teensy tiny bird-boy named Arlo. Arlo has wings of shimmering midnight blue and there is nothing that he loves more than ... flying!

But unhappiness tugs at Arlo’s wings – the other birds always fly away from him. He wishes he didn't feel so … different, so lonely. When Raven arrives and begins to build a home next to his cliff-side cave, Arlo is annoyed – Raven is noisy and messy! But, as it turns out, Raven knows just when to be calm and supportive when Arlo needs it most. Raven may just be all the flock Arlo ever needs...

Full of imagination, this is a stunning and magical tale about belonging, friendship, empathy, emotional regulation and realising that it only takes ONE person to see you for who you truly are, and to build a community based on kindness.

SPARKLING FOIL FINISH ON THE COVER!

Perfect for big-feeling little ones, Lucy’s stories explore key social and emotional themes, such as fear of change, resilience, anxiety and struggling to make friends … all with a touch of magic!

Have you met Arlo’s picture book friends?

Ella’s Night Lights - Ella is a little moth girl who only comes out at night to collect shimmering lights and guide other animals to safety…
Lily, the Pond Mermaid - Lily is a pond mermaid who loves looking after her pond home and all who live in it…
Oak, the Littlest Leaf Girl - Oak is the littlest leaf girl on the tree…
