About Big Little Blue: SandyPants!

Become BEST-BEST-BESTIES with Big and Little Blue, two lovable and lively little penguins!

There are three, simply illustrated stories in this book, each one featuring two friends, Big Blue and Little Blue, nicknames ‘Bigsies’ and ‘Littles’.

Each story is connected by a wellbeing theme, and is designed to offer children coping strategies for navigating friendships, understanding emotional responses, and the importance of mindfulness and being yourself.

With three playful stories in each volume, this funny, friendship-filled graphic novel series is a must-have for young readers aged 5 to 8 years.

Raymond McGrath has imbued his simple illustrations with bucketloads of character and humour, while at the same time managing to get a subtle message across.

Will soon be followed by Book #2, RockyBottoms and Book #3 DoubleDippers, in October 2023 and April 2024 respectively.

Praise for Raymond McGrath:

‘I was immediately drawn to the bold cover of this book. Movement and energy is shared through strong, colourful, lively illustrations as Raymond McGrath takes us on a journey through the imagination of two little girls as they get ready for bed. Raymond uses alliteration and dynamic bold text with pictures that flow and exhilarate.’ — READ NZ
