ABOUT THE BOOK

An empowering rock anthem, from the fantastically-funny Duncan Beedie, celebrating identity and self-expression. Badger is ready to ROCK! The music inside him is ready to burst out. He just needs to find a band.

But recorder class isn't right. Neither's the choir. Nor the marching band! Will Badger ever find his musical tribe? Perhaps it's been there all along .

. . Children will love the laugh-out-loud chaos that Badger causes on his quest for a musical home.

Packed with tons of rock-themed references, puns and visual jokes, this is THE picture book for budding rock music lovers.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Duncan Beedie

I am a children’s author and illustrator from Bristol, UK. I’ve been obsessed with drawing ever since I could hold a felt tip in my clammy little fist, and I have fond memories of sprawling out on my parents’ living room carpet for hours on end, filling sketchbooks with my doodles.

My debut picture book ‘The Bear Who Stared’ (Templar) was nominated for the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize 2017 and my follow up ‘The Lumberjack’s Beard’ was shortlisted for the World Illustration Awards in 2018. Since then I have gone on to write and illustrate titles for Little Tiger, Quarto, Walker Books, and was recently commissioned to design the illustrated autumn trail at Westonbirt Arboretum in Gloucestershire.

When not busy drawing kung-fu kicking llamas, heavy metal badgers, or starey bears, I can be found ambling through the woods or reading ghost stories.
