Aslan and Benny

 

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.
