The Driftwood Ball

Description

Every year the badgers and the otters gather to dance at the Driftwood Ball. But the two groups never mix - they dance in completely different ways. That is, until otter Celia and badger George decide they want to do things differently... they want to dance together, in their own way. On the night of the ball, they show their friends and family what they've been secretly practising, and through their courage the two groups become friends, and the two star-crossed dancers win the Driftwood Cup.

Thomas Docherty found reading and writing really difficult as a child, so he ended up keeping a sketchbook diary, especially if he travelled somewhere new. That was the inspiration for his first picture books To the Beach and Little Boat. He lives in Swansea with his wife, who also writes children's books, and their two young daughters.
