Tiny Tree scoops 'throwback' picture book by debut author Wensley

Tiny Tree has scooped The Giant at Number Two, a "throwback" picture book written by debut author Emily Wensley and illustrated by Helen Morgan.

Publisher James Shaw acquired world all-languages rights to the book directly from the author following a round of open submissions, and the book will be published in May 2024.
The Giant at Number Two is a rhyming picture book described as having a "classic" look. The synopsis says: "Daisy-May is known to everyone as having a vivid imagination, so when she tells her family that there is a giant living on their street, as usual nobody believes her.

"Nobody that is, except her Gran! Excited that there may be a giant living in the neighbourhood (especially one that wears funny masks!) they form a plan to find out all they can about him, in order to lure him into a trap."

Wensley said: “I always knew in my heart that this was a story worth sharing, I’m just so grateful to Tiny Tree for making it possible.”

Shaw commented:  “The moment I saw this book I fell in love. It reminds me so much of my favourite books from my childhood."
