Reviews / Votes
'"Grobblechops" is a delightful story about family and an innovative take on the monster under the bed trope brought to life through Jenny Lucander's quirky and original illustrations. We really love that this is a reimagined tale from philosopher Rumi, bringing a centuries old text to life in a new and exciting way. It is also a great book to explore overcoming fears within your setting.' - Seven StoriesMore details
