Bouncy Bo and little Smudge Lived in a CASTLE, with their father, Mr Judge.... Bouncy Bo and Little Smudge live in a sombre castle with their serious father. They are full of laughter and mischief, but it seems as if all the adults have forgotten how to smile . . . until an eye-opening visit to their grandparents proves otherwise! Romping rhyme and joyful silliness from Klaus Flugge Prize shortlisted illustrator Padmacandra.
Padmacandra grew up in Scotland, lives in Norfolk and graduated from the Cambridge School of art. She is a buddhist, works part time with the elderly, and teaches meditation. Her debut THE TALE OF THE WHALE won the Derby Book Award and was shortlisted for the Klaus Flugge Prize, Spark! School Award and North Somerset Teacher's Award. She says: If through my art and/or writing I can also communicate values of kindness and wisdom, I would be very happy!
