Aslan and Benny by Jemima Shafei-Ongu, illustrated by Jane Goodwin (Penguin Random House) HB RRP $24.99 ISBN 9781761047060
Aslan has the heart and the
name of a lion. He is fearless! His favourite days are Sundays when the whole
family gathers at his yenge’s house for a barbecue, and he can play with his
cousins all day. But when they get a scary dog called Benny, it spoils
everything. He doesn’t feel so brave anymore. Will Aslan manage his fears and
play with his cousins again?
This is a warm and relatable
picture book for anyone who’s ever felt trapped by their worries and needed
help doing what matters most to them.
It features vivid and bright
illustrations by First Nations artist Jade Goodwin, the acclaimed illustrator
of Ash Barty’s Little Ash series and picture book My Dream for You.
