A Fox Called Herbert

Author and illustrator: Margaret Sturton

Herbert knows he’s really a fox, but his mummy doesn’t understand. She wants him to be a good little rabbit. A beautiful picture book about embracing who you are, and the importance of acceptance. This allegory works on so many levels, and will spark lots of conversation.
