Come along to get your copy signed! A playful, beautifully illustrated picture book imagining how the world’s most extraordinary animal – the platypus- came to be. Long ago, when the world was new, a cat, a fish, a duck and a frog each wished for the gifts the others had. They set off to the Spark of Life, the place where every living thing began. How the Platypus Became is a fantastical picture book for children aged 4-8 about curiosity, friendship and finding your place in the world. For anyone who loves animal stories, imaginative adventures, or the magic of being yourself.
