New Bright Books for Spring 2020

Spring has sprung, and we’re looking forward to the sunnier times ahead. The next three months are full of some wonderful new books from Bright’s authors and illustrators. There’s a brilliant selection of titles from bestselling author illustrators in our picture book offering; Jarvis’s Follow Me, Flo! and Nicola O’Byrne’s Bad Cat! are out in April; and Sue Hendra and Paul Linnet’s No-Bot returns in June. We’re also very excited to share the debut author-illustrated titles from Richard Jones and Jo Fernihough.

There’s also adventures galore in our upcoming fiction books such as Orla and the Serpent’s Curse illustrated by Paddy Donnelly, Summer of the Dragons cover art by Ben Mantle, and The Midnight Howl illustrated by Hannah Peck. Meanwhile in non-fiction, illustrator Clair Rossiter brings us 100 Adventures to Have Before You Grow Up for the curious quest-seekers at home.
