Billy and the Dragon

'Shireen’s latest book confirms her as one of the brightest and best picture book creators working in Britain today... Sensational.' - The Observer

Our fearless heroine Billy is back!

Whilst at a fancy-dress party, something terrible happens: Billy's loyal sidekick Fatcat is kidnapped by a fire-breathing dragon. Uh-oh!

But luckily for Fatcat, Billy won't stand for that: off she goes on a brave rescue mission...

Join Billy for a fairytale adventure with a twist.
