🦖Cover Reveal🦖 May we introduce… 🥁 Dinosaur Pie by @Jenscreativity! A hilarious and heart-warming story about a boy with ADHD who is transformed into a dinosaur. Illustrated by the brilliant @alanorourke, designed by @hitoneie and published by @littleislandbks, #DinosaurPie promises to be a slice of perfection. Jen was part of our 2022 Raising Voices Fellowship, which was aimed to develop and support aspiring artists who make work for children and young adults and whose voices have been underrepresented in literature. Making this reveal very close to our hearts. You can read more about Raising Voices on our website. 🗓️ #DinosaurPie comes out 18th April and is available for pre-order at littleisland.ie or from your local bookshop.

Full review to come but I just finished A Fix of Light by @kelmenton (@LittleIslandBks) and it's just brilliantly written. A queer love story, magic, mental health, and so much hope to be found in these pages. It handles dark subjects but is so worth reading. Out Feb '25, 16+ yrs

Day 15 of the #DIKBChallenge24: share a book with a laugh-out-loud moment Dinosaur Pie by @Jenscreativity and @alanorourke (@LittleIslandBks) I mean, a story about a kid turning into a dinosaur is bound to get laughs, but this one very much nails the modern 8 yo's humour.
