GIVEAWAY: Introducing Teddy

GIVEAWAY: Introducing Teddy

*Giveaway posted 30th June, enter by 6th July 2016*

We had a great response to picture book Introducing Teddy by Jessica Walton and Dougal MacPherson as our Book of the Week last week, and if you haven’t read it yet – here’s your chance, as we have 5 copies to GIVEAWAY!

Jessica Walton was looking for a book to help explain her dad’s transition to her young son. After struggling to find options that featured transgender or gender diverse characters she decided she’d just have to write it herself. The result is Introducing Teddy, a new Australian picture book all about bravery, acceptance, friendship – and just being who you are. You can read more of our review here.

We have five (5) copies to giveaway.  For your chance to win, post a comment on the GIVEAWAY story which will be on our facebook page from 7.30pm AEDT 30th June, telling us about your favourite fictional friendship from a picture book.

The 5 most interesting and original responses by 5pm AEST 6th July  will win a copy of Introducing Teddy thanks to our friends at Bloomsbury. Please note the competition is open to Australian residents only. The winner will be announced on our facebook page.

    Synopsis

    Recommended for ages 2+

    Errol and his teddy, Thomas, are best friends who do everything together. Whether it's riding a bike, playing in the tree house, having a tea party, or all of the above, every day holds something fun to do.

    One sunny day, Errol finds that Thomas is sad, even when they are playing in their favorite ways. Errol can't figure out why, until Thomas finally tells Errol what the teddy has been afraid to say: "In my heart, I've always known that I'm a girl teddy, not a boy teddy. I wish my name was Tilly, not Thomas." And Errol says, "I don't care if you're a girl teddy or a boy teddy! What matters is that you are my friend."
