It's Time All Possums Went to Bed

Description

Mummy says it's time for bed, but Milly has other ideas! She's a possum nibbling juicy grapes and pears. She's a bilby digging outdoors, an echidna wiggling on the ground, an emu pecking at seeds, and a kangaroo bouncing around. But even animals have to go to bed sometimes . . . It's Time All Possums Went to Bed is a playful and loving ode to bedtime routines, featuring upbeat rhyme from Jacqui Halpin and gorgeous art from Gavin Scott.

Gavin was born in Wiltshire and raised in rural Dorset, UK. He was fascinated by the natural world from an early age and spent much of his childhood drawing and painting animals and birds. He later studied BA Natural History Illustration at Bournemouth Arts University. Working as an illustrator in-house for a number of years, honing his skills in character design, his style gradually evolved from scientific into children's picture books. He now lives in Somerset with his wife, who is also an illustrator, and their growing family. When he's not working he loves rock climbing on the Dorset coast and riding and fettling his old Triumph motorbike.
