About the Book

An irresistible story about empathy, diversity, and the joy of making friends with people (or vegetables) who are different from you.

Summary

Colin and Lee, Carrot and Pea is a fantastically funny story that appeals to children of all ages – and makes adults laugh out loud. With the bold simplicity of Herve Tullet or Dick Bruna's Miffy, this picture book is perfect for teaching young readers about friendship and acceptance.

Illustration and Design

Made using a collage of supermarket carrier bags, boys and girls alike will love Colin and Lee's clear shapes, bright colours and the playful approach to everyday objects that make this book an instant favourite.

Reviews and Awards
