Grotti - Leonie Lord

WINNER OF THE FCBG CHILDREN'S BOOK AWARD FOR YOUNGER CHILDREN 2025 WINNER OF A PORTSMOUTH BOOK AWARD 2025"A funny, sweet, original picture book about adapting to babies’ needs." Guardian Down in the hollow, where creepy tangles grow, a knight finds something green, something grotti. He explains that he can’t stay because he is very busy (“I’ve got beasts to battle and kingdoms to defend!â€). But he can’t just leave this sad, lost – and very big-eyed! – baby monster, can he?With originality and humour, Leonie Lord explores the way babies enter our lives: demanding new levels of care and attention, but also filling us up with love and stealing our hearts for ever.
