Coup de coeur
(Children's), by Flora
This beautifully illustrated story is all about learning to embrace who you are, even if you feel like you should be different somehow. Badger doesn't feel like he's a good enough badger, maybe he isn't even a badger. But he loves riding his tandem bike to the market, and eating delicious things, and listening to opera music. When he meets Gully he's delighted to have a friend, but anxious about their differences. Can Badger make friends with Gully and, even more importantly, make friends with his own true self?
For fans of Odder and Skunk and Badger comes a heartwarming story of an unlikely friendship between a gull and a badger.
Septimus is not good at being a badger. He adores the sunset. He dreams of going to Venice. And he lives alone in a charming cottage by the sea. He’s not unhappy with his tidy, solitary life, but there are times when being so bad at badgerdom makes him wonder if he’s even a badger at all.
When a gull of very few words lands on the windowsill, Septimus leaps at the possibility of friendship. However, his new confidant soon goes missing and Septimus is bereft. Determined to find his best—and only—friend, he ventures into new territory and encounters a cast of surprising characters. Can Septimus be as brave and bighearted as he’ll need to be to find Gully? Or is he really a bad badger after all?
Bad Badger is a young middle-grade novel about badgers, gulls, and learning that staying true to yourself means knowing who you are to begin with.
