Planet Yawn

"There once was a Yawn who made lots of noise.
The cheekiest of all the boys.
A Yawn with way too many toys.
A sleepy lad called Naughty."

Planet Yawn is a charming and imaginative bedtime story which can be read on many levels. On one level it is a whimsical story about Naughty Yawn, a boy who won't share, and on another it is a gentle, non-didactic exploration of the environmental issues that face us.

A delightful and entertaining story that shows the skill and imagination we have come to expect from this extraordinarily talented woman, Toni Collette, illustrated by the unique Emma Magenta, in their first ever book for children.
