The winner of the 2014 Association of Illustrators' Award for Children's Books, Shh! is the covetable new picture book from Chris Haughton, one of the most exciting new voices in children's literature.
Four friends are out for a walk when they spot it - a beautiful bird perched high in a tree! They simply must have it and - ssh!- they have a plan. So they tip-toe very slowly, nets poised, but, at the turn of the page, we find a bunch of very tangled characters and a blissfully oblivious bird, flying away. It's clear that this goofy gang cannot catch that elusive birdie! But the littlest of this group knows that a bit of kindness can go a long way.
