L,B’s Emma rocks the boat

Oneworld list Rock the Boat has signed a series about a group of “mini feminists” on a play-date by début author and Little, Brown publisher Emma Beswetherick.

The Playdate Adventure Club, aimed at five to eight-year-olds, follows three girls whose pretend adventures become real each time they meet.

Publisher Gill Evans, who acquired world rights from Caroline Sheldon, said: “I love the mini feminists’ teamwork and the power of their imaginations.”
