The Crocodile Who Was Afraid of the Water - Softcover

This is the first children's story published by Rachel Hawthorne, a Primary School Teacher from Derby. This sensitive tale is born out of Rachel's love of writing and connection with young children. Rachel's fond memories of her favourite childhood books fuelled her desire to create the characters and stories that new generations of children can love and cherish. Rachel's writing incorporates her belief that children's books should engage the reader, both developmentally and emotionally, with characters, morals and themes relevant to young minds. The story of Chester has been brought to life beautifully by the unique illustrations of Emma Belka. The injection of character and emotion to her drawings perfectly compliment the story. Artistic talent is underpinned by a great understanding and portrayal of the author's intended vision.
