Description
Icky the witch lives alone in a mushroom house with icy toes and a reputation that keeps everyone away. Chops is a fish-smelling cat with no friends and nowhere to sleep. But when a cold winter forces Icky into town, a chance meeting changes everything.
Together, Icky and Chops dance under the moonlight, cast joyful spells, and warm more than just toes—they warm hearts, too.
Told in lilting rhyme and filled with warm, whimsical illustrations and gentle humour, Icky and Old Scaley Chops is a heartwarming tale of friendship, belonging, and the kind of magic only acceptance can bring.

About the Author
Jordon Garbellini Adams is an Australia author of children's picture books. She enjoys telling stories set in magical worlds, in which odd characters live, grow and learn lessons that young readers can carry through to real life. Her characters may be magical, but they face the same obstacles we do, and Jordon hopes her stories encourage children to be kind to others and confident in themselves.
