Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Oof Makes an Ouch by Duncan Beedie tells the story of Oof and Pib, who belong to an ancient tribe. These characters know hardly any words; in fact, they only know how to say their own names. Despite this limitation, they are the best of friends and do everything together.

Everything changes when Oof starts inventing all sorts of new words. Pib feels so jealous that he does something that threatens their friendship forever.

Can Pib come up with a word of his own to make things right again?

This is a funny and poignant tale about friendship, forgiveness, and the discovery of new words, including one that can be the hardest of all to say.

About the Author

Duncan Beedie has been doodling and drawing since way back in the early 1980s, lying on the living room floor, grasping a felt tip in his clammy little fist. He began his career animating children's TV before branching into design for websites, games and apps. These days he's a freelance illustrator based in Bristol, grasping a fancy digital stylus in his clammy fist instead, although he no longer lies on the floor to draw. He has a desk in a studio that overlooks the city. It's much more accommodating than nylon shag pile.
Duncan's second picture book is The Lumberjack's Beard - available now.
