The Sad Potato is a charming and funny 30-page picture book with playful rhymes, potato puns, and delightful illustrations!
But it's the unique combination of silly, fun artwork and witty humour that makes this silly little story about a sad little spud a new family-favourite, and the perfect addition to anyone's collection! Gently introducing the concept of emotional expression and empathy, The Sad Potato helps readers of all ages understand a little bit more about what they can do to try and make their day just a little bit better.
The illustrations are simple - but that’s the magic. Every line, frown, squiggle, and smirk adds to the book’s quirky humour. Like a potato with googly eyes, they’re hilariously expressive and full of charm.
Already a hit with families, educators, and childcare providers, this silly little story has become a best-seller, and will leave you with a smile!
