The Very Special Thing is a brilliantly funny tale about what can happen when we forget to think of others and get carried away with our hobbies . . . Squirrel loves to collect things around the forest. She really has the eye for it! But when she starts to take the other animals possessions, the mood turns sour and the others aren' t very happy. As Squirrel' s collection grows and grows, her very favourite thing, her special acorn, is in danger of getting lost in all the mess. Will the other animals be able to help?
Alex is an author and best selling children' s book illustrator. Since he could first hold a pencil, Alex has been drawing characters, bringing each to life with a sense of mischief and fun. After studying Illustration for Children' s Publishing at the North Wales School of Art and Design, he went on to illustrate The Runaway Pea, which was selected for the BookTrust' s 2020 Time to Read Campaign. Alex has won the 2020 Shrewsbury Book Fest award and The FCBG 2020 award for his illustrations in The Runaway Pea, as well as being nominated for the Kate Greenaway Medal and was a finalist in the 2020 Oscar' s Book Prize. His books have been translated into multiple languages. A love of fun storytelling and growing up on 80s cartoons lead Alex to write his own books, which combine captivating characters and quirky exploits, along with a positive moral message.
