George is part of a family of yetis – all of whom are big, scary and like chasing ramblers and terrifying them! George is much smaller, not covered in fur and can’t make people gasp at the size of his footprints! So, what is he?
This is a simple story of how George looks inside himself and decides he is the one who will help people. Even though all of George’s family are yetis they accept George for himself – and appreciate that someone helping ramblers means they can still scare them half to death, but ramblers won’t become extinct with George helping them.
A delightful, simple, colourful picture book illustrating a complex and confusing topic for young children. Many children will struggle to be themselves and this story could help them on their journey to become themselves. Told with humour, affection and very simply even the youngest will enjoy thinking about what they may choose to become.
All of George’s family are yetis, except for George. George doesn’t fancy chasing ramblers, or luring stray hikers to their doom. Perhaps he has something else in mind?
A story of courage, acceptance and finding yourself - and subtly discusses modern ideas of gender and self in a light-hearted, humorous way that the whole family can enjoy.
