Author & Illustrators
Mandy is tired of being a boring yellow banana. She thinks she wants to be a pineapple, but they’re too prickly. Next, she wants to be a watermelon, but they’re not very stable. No matter what, Mandy is still a banana. Then she meets a tiny blueberry who shows her that being a banana is well and truly an exciting, wonderful thing to be.
This is such a charming story about being happy with yourself. Mandy is just like all of us, I think. I’m sure that everybody has a time when they feel like Mandy. The story is a great way to show children that everyone is special in their own way. The illustrations are bright, colourful and very cute.
