Book Synopsis

Try, by fundraising heroes, rugby legends and best friends Rob Burrow and Kevin Sinfield, is a big-hearted picture book about a friendship between two young boys. Written with Emma Adams and illustrated by Ben Whitehouse.

What makes someone a hero?

That’s what best friends Rob and Kevin are trying to find out. But the answer isn’t quite what they expect!

This joyful story about friendship, kindness and what heroes are really made of comes from the creators of the number one bestselling book With You Every Step.

Our Review Panel says...

A colourful, fun look at what makes someone a hero and the importance of friendship. The joyful illustrations bring this heart-warming story to life. With moments of bravery, kindness and caring for others that young children might experience or see in others. A resounding message that we all have it in us to be a hero – YES WE DO! An opportunity for interaction on the last page, with a question put to readers: Who is your hero? Perfect to read aloud to a class or with a small group.
