Out Now: Wanda the Warthog who Worried

Illustrated by Chris Chatterton and written by Frances Stickley, this book introduces young readers the idea of learning to appreciate yourself just the way you are.

Wanda the warthog is perfectly proud to be HER – a root-rustling wonder with stubbly fur. But when a graceful, perfectly plumed rainbow of scarlet macaw parrots appear in the forest one day, Wanda suddenly starts to doubt herself… Frowning and grouching and glaring: Wanda the warthog has started comparing.

When Wanda does everything she can to change the way she looks and the macaws still don’t take any notice, it’s time for Wanda’s friends to step in to remind her that she is only one who can decide her worth.

Wanda the Warthog who Worried was published by Simon & Schusters UK / S&S Children’s Books, on May 22nd, 2025. Get your copy here!
