Book Launch: Kid by Peter Carnavas

Join us at The Book Cow when we welcome Peter Carnavas in store to celebrate the launch of his latest children's book, Kid! Peter has written and illustrated this modern-day classic about a young goat who discovers the meaning of family.

ABOUT THE BOOK

This is the story of a small goat called Kid. Ever since his parents chased away a fox and never returned, Kid has stayed with Audrey the hen in the chook yard. Audrey tells him stories of his mum and dad's daring and bravery. She says they live on the nearby mountain, and Kid longs to leave the farm to find them.

And then, one day, he discovers he is big enough to jump the fence ...

Will a wild adventure up the mountain help Kid find where he belongs?

Embellished with Peter's delightful hand-drawn illustrations, this junior adventure novel is reminiscent of other children's classics that feature mostly animal casts, such as Charlotte's Web by EB White and The Sheep-Pig by Dick King-Smith.
