‘Nop’ written and illustrated by Caroline Magerl

Nop is a scruffy kind of bear. He sits on a dusty armchair surrounded by the beaders, knitters, patchers and stitchers who are much too busy to talk to him. He watches the scrap material tumble until, armed with a new bow tie, he has an idea that will change his life forever. Nop doesn’t let his rejection get to him, instead he calls on his resilience to start his own journey to find a place in the heart of someone who will love him. The themes of resilience and self-belief are gently woven into this compelling and beautifully illustrated picture book.
