Book Synopsis

An uplifting and empowering tale about finding new ways to navigate big feelings, from the bestselling creators of The Lion Inside.

As a shimmering sun lit the desert at dawn,
A clumping of camels awoke with a yawn.
“GOOD MORRRRNING!” sang one,
“YOO-HOO! Rise and shine!”
“I will!” called another. “Today is DIVINNNNNNE!”

But not everyone has woken up in a good mood: Cuthbert the camel is having a bit of a bad morning. He’s hot, he’s tired and he certainly WON’T be walking to the oasis today! There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that will get him out of his grump. Or is there?

When Cuthbert makes a new friend, he discovers that even if things get off on the wrong hoof, we’re all just one smile away from a happy rest-of-day.

A laugh-out-loud tale of how choosing fun can turn a grumpy, humpy start into a happy ending. This spectacularly illustrated rhyming tale from the award-winning, bestselling creators of The Lion Inside and The Koala Who Could is the perfect read for anyone who’s ever had The Hump.

Our Review Panel says...

A charming picture book about Cuthbert, a camel having a very bad day (relatable to any children who have ever been said to have “the hump”). Fortunately for Cuthbert, a new friend helps him discover how a shift in perspective can brighten even the gloomiest of mornings.

Rachel Bright‘s rhyming text and Jim Field’s characterful illustrations create a funny story with an uplifting feel. This is a perfect read for preschoolers exploring their feelings and the power to turn things around when the day is going wrong.
