A beautiful, moving tale about kindness and bravery that has all the hallmarks of a modern classic.

‘Absolutely joyous’ David Litchfield - creator of The Bear and the Piano

‘Once Upon A Tiger is a treat for the eyes and the soul’ Sheena Dempsey - creator of Pablo and Splash

One day, a grumpy tiger wakes to find not one, not two, but three child-cubs upon his back – and try as he might, they will not move. So tiger and children stay together and slowly, gently come to teach one another about bravery, kindness and belonging.

Renowned illustrator Sarah Massini has written and illustrated a deeply empathetic and timeless story that will stay in the heart long after reading.
