WINNER OF THE LAUGH-OUT-LOUD BOOK AWARDS 2024 POETRY CATEGORY!
A flamboyantly fun tropical tale of love, fame, friendship from the creators of the international bestseller The Lion Inside.
Goldy wants one thing, and one thing only - to be a STAR. On the sunny island this gecko calls home, it's always THE GOLDY SHOW, morning 'til night.
But when you're dazzled by the limelight, it's easy to lose sight of the world around you. And when Goldy's performance starts to go wrong, the little gecko discovers that friendship means so much more than fame. Because when you treat the world with love, then love will come echoing back.
This funny and touching rhyming story is perfect for sharing, reminding us all that treating others with kindness makes the whole world a better and happier place.
