SHHH! WE HAVE A PLAN PB – CHRIS HAUGHTON-CHRIS HAUGHTON

WINNER OF THE PARENTS’ CHOICE AWARD 2015; JUNIOR DESIGN AWARD 2014; EZRA JACK KEATS BOOK AWARD 2014; AND IRISH BOOK AWARDS WINNER 2014. The winner of the 2014 Association of Illustrators Award for Children s Books, Shh! is the covetable new picture book from Chris Haughton, one of the most exciting new voices in children s literature. From Chris Haughton, the multi award-winning author-illustrator of A Bit Lost and Oh No, George!, comes a picture book about a beautiful bird, four friends and plans gone wrong… The friends are out for a walk. Suddenly, they spot it – a beautiful bird perched high in a tree! They simply must have it and – shh!– they have a plan. So they tip-toe very slowly, nets poised – Ready one … ready two … ready three … GO! But, at the turn of the page, we find a ridiculous bunch of very tangled characters and a blissfully oblivious bird, flying away. One hilarious foiled plan after another and it s clear that this goofy gang cannot catch that elusive birdie! But the littlest of this group, a quiet spectator up until now, knows that a bit of kindness can go a long way… Will his friends follow his gentle lead or will they get themselves into even more trouble?
