The Underwater Fancy-dress Parade

By Davina Bell with illustrations by Allison Colpoys

Sometimes it’s hard to be brave. Sometimes you get that feeling. Sometimes you’re just not ready … until, one day, you are.

The night before the Underwater Fancy-Dress Parade, Alfie got that feeling …Sometimes it’s hard to be brave. Sometimes you get that feeling. Alfie isn’t sure he can go to the parade, but his mum knows there’s at least one special place for Alfie – a beautiful, shimmery, underwater world that tells Alfie it’s okay to feel shy. Because sometimes you’re just not ready …until, one day, you are. From a dynamic new picture-book partnership comes this beautiful tale about fitting in and feeling brave; about giant octopuses with tiny hats, and the secrets you can only tell the cowboys on your wallpaper.
