New PB for Susannah Crispe and Isabelle Duff

Congratulations to illustrator Susannah Crispe and author Isabelle Duff on the upcoming publication of

The Real Cowgirl

a hardback picture book for 4-8 year-olds published by Exile Publishing

5 June 2024

Sal wants to be a real cowgirl - brave, strong, wild, fierce and kind. She feels safe and strong at home, but she finds going to school is scary and isolating. A heart-warming story about being yourself and finding bravery through friendship.

An inspiring story about the people – and animals – who make us brave, perfect for young readers who are struggling with nerves or anxiety.

This looks gorgeous and relatable for many.
