Hello Twigs, How Are You Feeling? by Andrew McDonald

In Stump’s first adventure in this hilarious and sweet graphic novel series, he is having some pretty big feelings. Luckily, he’s got some great friends by his side!

Stump is having a feeling. A feeling he calls ‘GREAT SADNESS’, because he used to live in the Big Tree, until a bolt of lightning struck him out. Poor Stump! He bravely tries to stick himself back onto the tree, but his twiggy friends have a different idea. They’ll help you out, Stump. That’s what twigs are for!

With eight books in the series, these hilarious books are perfect for readers aged 3 to 7 and fans of Narwhal and Jelly, School of Monsters and Elephant and Piggie.

‘These colourful books will awaken children to the beauty of nature, its usefulness and glory. They are encouraged through the twig’s examples, to be creative, innovative, work as a team, and accept each other’s differences.’ –Kids Book Review
