A Piece of Passion from David Bennett, Publisher, Boxer Books
Jonathan Allen won't mind me saying that I'm not Cute! had been turned down by a number of major publishers. He agreed to develop the book further with Boxer and it went to the Bologna bookfair - international rights were sold, auctions held in the US and sales of over a million followed. Baby Owl is one of the reasons Boxer Books began to publish. I'm not Scared! soon followed and was just as big a hit! We've just published the sixth title, I'm not Reading.
Baby Owl is out for a moonlight stroll through the woods but each animal he bumps into tells him not to be scared! Can Baby Owl convince them that this is what owls are meant to do and more importantly, that he is not scared!
