Brightly coloured knitting streams from the clicking-clacking needles of Annie Hoot, an Owl with a very unusual habit! The other owls reject Annie Hoot’s multi-coloured offerings but she cleverly takes her talent elsewhere and finds parrots in the rainforest and animals in the Arctic eager to try her woolly wear. An wonderfully entertaining story about trying something new, and daring to be different.
Annie Hoot is a kind but scatty little owl. She lives in a tree house deep in the woods. She is always coming up with new ideas for things to do, and her latest craze is knitting. But unfortunately, the other owls don't appreciate her wonderful knitted clothes, so she sets off round the world to find other animals who will.
Holly was born in London, but has travelled widely around Africa and Asia. She now lives in Bristol. Her favourite books include How to Catch a Star by Oliver Jeffers and Emily Gravett's picture books, in particular her lastest release, Dogs. Holly enjoys pottery, takes regular classes and one day hopes to have her own pottery studio and small shop/gallery.
Holly attended Chelsea School of Art Media and Design and Bristol UWE Faculty of Art Media and Design. Her first picture book, Annie Hoot and the Knitting Extravaganza, is published by Andersen Press in 2010.
