THE TEACUP
An evocative story of hope that reminds us everyone has a story to tell, wherever they come from. A beautiful companion to The Suitcase from the creator of Frank and Bert.
Long ago, the animals befriended a strange-looking creature who arrived from nowhere with a suitcase containing a teacup and a photograph of home.
The stranger soon found sanctuary and calm. Now, there is a new mysterious stranger who they are sure is nothing but a . . . thief! It's only when everything goes wrong that they realise that things may not be as simple as they think . . . A lovingly crafted picture book that challenges unconscious bias with its simplicity and a heartfelt message - children and their parents will love, and learn from, The Teacup.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR...
Chris Naylor-Ballesteros is originally from Bradford and studied illustration and graphic design at Bradford College of Art. In 2000 he moved to France where, amongst other things, he was an English teacher before working in newspaper layout and design.
When his children were small he realised he loved the picture books he read to them, sometimes even more than his children did – the Picture Book Bug had truly bitten. Chris has since written and illustrated several books and is currently thinking about the next one, probably with a cuppa in hand at home near Limoges.
He likes listening to and making music, wandering around the countryside, a bit of running and riding a bike. His favourite season is autumn and his favourite colour is green.
