Created by Sussex-based author, Louise A Shaw – Tawny Owl Wood Children’s Books, The Great Race is beautifully illustrated and filled with nature, gentle humour, and heart.
The uplifting picture book encourages children to: celebrate teamwork, build resilience and problem-solving skills, understand the value of collaboration and enjoy the magic of friendship in every season.
Set deep in the heart of Tawny Owl Wood, The Great Race follows the woodland friends as they prepare for the most exciting event of the year – the annual boat race! Excitement builds as each character brings their own ideas, strengths, and creativity to the challenge.
But when things don’t go quite to plan, the friends discover that winning isn’t always about coming first. Instead, it’s about working together, supporting one another, and finding the courage to keep going.
The book is perfect for bedtime stories, early readers, classrooms, and as a thoughtful gift for little adventurers.
Plus to complement their much-loved picture books for ages 0–6, Tawny Owl Wood have also created a double-sided jigsaw puzzle (age 3+) featuring two enchanting illustrations from each story.
