The Book Fairies are delighted to share another incredible book from author and illustrator Kim Hillyard.

“How does it feel to be the last mammoth on earth?”

The Book Fairies are delighted to share a very exciting new book for children – Gretel the Wonder Mammoth! You might remember that the fairies had the honour of sharing a previous book of Kim’s, called Mabel and the Mountain 🙂 We know that lucky finders of this book are in for a treat!

“Gretel soon found some new things that made her feel good.”

– Gretel the Wonder Mammoth, by Kim Hillyard

About the book:

A mammoth NEW picture book from the award-winning Kim Hillyard!

One peaceful Tuesday morning, a loud CRACK could be heard as the last mammoth on earth broke free from her icy shell – here comes Gretel the Wonder Mammoth! Everyone is so excited to meet her but as she settles into her new life, Gretel starts to feel a little overwhelmed and even a bit lonely…

This positive, encouraging picture book teaches young readers that perhaps the bravest act a person (or mammoth!) can do is ask for help.

Gretel the Wonder Mammoth is a perfect bedtime read for fans of Rob Biddulph, Rachel Bright and Jim Field.

“Where do I belong?” “Everywhere.”

– Gretel the Wonder Mammoth, by Kim Hillyard
