Two drop-ins for fall, which are both very important kids titles, to highlight for you! Both ship via PGC/Raincoast. I suggest placing good, strong orders early as no doubt these will both sell out. Both have interiors on Bookmanager.

Based on the stop-animation musical coming to Netflix, Robin Robin is a warm, endearing holiday picture book that tells the story of a young bird on a journey of self-discovery, as she finds her place amongst her adopted family (of mice). The book is beautifully illustrated by Briony May Smith, illustrator of Little Bear’s Spring and Little Goose’s Autumn from Pan Macmillan. The film is an Aardman Animation production—the studio behind Chicken Run, Wallace & Gromit, and Shaun the Sheep—and stars Gillian Anderson, Richard E Grant, Bronte Carmichael and Adeel Akhtar. It releases globally on Netflix on November 27. You can watch the official teaser here.
