What happens when Ham and his crew discover that they’re destined for the dinner table?

Ham is a hilarious farmyard romp, featuring lovable characters and bright illustrations. The farmyard animals—Ham, Satay, Chops, Stew (and a few chickens)—must work together to save themselves from their inevitable fate: the dinner plate!

Everyone knows bacon is delicious, but are there any other food options for us to discover? Could there be another purpose for these adorable animals?

About the Author

Despite a love of snowy mountains, Dhana lives on the balmy Sunshine Coast in QLD with her husband and two daughters. Since becoming a mum, Dhana has swapped her musical instruments for a pen and the daunting blank page to pursue her passion to write funny stories for children. She hopes her stories will create a few bedtime giggles. An actual belly laugh would be icing on the cake (chocolate, of course).
