Rock And Roll (PB)

Rock is strong, serious and absolutely does not want any attention, thank you. Roll is soft, joyful and very much the opposite of that. They live on opposite pages and seemingly in opposite worlds, and yet, look a little closer, and their experiences keep linking up in ways that are funny and warm and quietly rather moving. Ruby Ann Thompson's debut picture book has bold visuals, genuinely big laughs, and the kind of clever layout that children notice and feel delighted by, and it carries the sort of gentle message about difference and connection that lands without ever being heavy-handed about it.

We love it because:

• The opposite-page layout is a genuinely brilliant concept, beautifully executed
• The humour is real and properly funny for children and grown-ups alike
• The message about finding common ground arrives gently, through laughter rather than lesson
• Bold, striking visuals that feel completely fresh and original
• A standout debut that we think is going to be very loved indeed
