I’m a sucker for a rhyming picture book, especially when it celebrates everything that is wonderful, contradictory and unique about human beings.Nadia Shireen’s fearless heroine, Billy, is back.
But where is her trusty sidekick, Fatcat? He’s only been kidnapped by a fire-breathing dragon and it’s up to Billy to save him. Billy is one of my favourite literary heroines and represents for so many children who rarely get to see themselves and their own lives in the books they read.
