Brightly coloured knitting streams from the clicking-clacking needles of Annie Hoot, an Owl with a very unusual habit! The other owls reject Annie Hoot’s multi-coloured offerings but she cleverly takes her talent elsewhere and finds parrots in the rainforest and animals in the Arctic eager to try her woolly wear. An wonderfully entertaining story about trying something new, and daring to be different.
Knit, knit, knit! Annie Hoot loves to knit. But the other owls refuse to wear her colorful creations. So Annie knits herself a hot air balloon and sets off to find some animals who will appreciate her talents. What can she make for the rainforest animals? African animals? Polar animals? And what will she discover when she returns home?
Holly was born in London, but has travelled widely around Africa and Asia. She now lives in Bristol. Her favourite books include How to Catch a Star by Oliver Jeffers and Emily Gravett's picture books, in particular her lastest release, Dogs. Holly enjoys pottery, takes regular classes and one day hopes to have her own pottery studio and small shop/gallery.
Holly attended Chelsea School of Art Media and Design and Bristol UWE Faculty of Art Media and Design. Her first picture book, Annie Hoot and the Knitting Extravaganza, is published by Andersen Press in 2010.
