Together with his farmer friends, they dance up a storm, wearing a variety of unusual footwear ... including Grandpa in his gumboots!

There are three simply illustrated, playful stories in this graphic novel-style volume, each one featuring two friends, Big Blue and Little Blue. Each story is connected by a wellbeing theme, and is designed to offer children coping strategies for navigating friendships, understanding emotional responses, and the importance of mindfulness and being yourself.

• While Book #1 SandyPants showed how to be a good friend, Book #2 introduces the importance of sometimes just doing nothing ... and how ‘doing nothing’ can be ‘doing something.’ It also shows how some active relaxers may struggle with the concept and that everyone is different.

• A new character is introduced: Bubba Lubba, a bold pirate seal who enjoys sunning himself on a rock and singing!

• Raymond McGrath has imbued his simple illustrations with bucketloads of character and humour, while at the same time managing to get a subtle message across.

• Book #3 DoubleDippers will be released in April 2024.

Bardolph’s daughter Tala and Faelan must go and meet Varg (who is in possession of the sacred Moonstone) in the treacherous Lockjaw Mountains to negotiate the return of the stone by offering Varg some of their territory ... or is Tala going to offer something else? Perhaps even Varg’s long-lost son ... Faelan!
