A Wild Walk to School

The School Run is a warm, witty and imaginative story from Waterstones prize-winner Rebecca Cobb that perfectly captures the epic adventure of getting to school on time. It''s time to walk to school and mum wants the children to get there on time. But what Mum doesn''t realise is that the hill is in fact the tummy of a sleeping giant and it''s important to tread carefully when the floor turns to lava! It''s just as well Mum has these two Brave Explorers with her . . . A charming, relatable and beautifully illustrated story that''s full of fun: recognisable to children and their grown-ups everywhere!

Auteur
Rebecca Cobb is a rising star in children's picture books. Since graduating from Falmouth College of Arts in 2004, she has illustrated for many clients including Guardian Guide, Guardian Weekend magazine, The Independent and Waitrose Food Illustrated. Rebecca has collaborated on two picture storybooks with the Orange-Prize winner Helen Dunmore, both set in her native Cornwall. In addition, Rebecca's stunning illustrations accompanied Julia's Donaldson's wonderfully lyrical story in The Paper Dolls and The Everywhere Bear. In 2011 Macmillan published Rebecca's debut solo project, the hugely accomplished Missing Mummy which approached the subject of child bereavement with great honesty, sensitivity and integrity. Lunchtime is Rebecca's second solo picture book, and although wholly different in subject matter from her first, features the same stunning illustration style and child-friendly voice. Aunt Amelia, Rebecca Cobb's third picture book, is every bit as warm, engaging and original as her existing books, and is sure to continue to establish her as a real 'one to watch'.
