Epic Hamsters...

A Place to Call Home is an epic picture book about a brave band of brothers, lost and looking for a new home. Will they find it, across the sea, the mountains, the desert, through endless labyrinths and beyond the edge of the world where strange beasts are lurking?



And will they stay together?



And how will they know where they are going if they are all wearing protective helmets?





Find out in this book, which made illustrator Viviane Schwarz laugh like nothing else she has ever illustrated (hence the wobbly lines in places), and which Alexis Deacon wrote because he knows just how much Viviane likes to draw epic hamsters.



Check out this wonderful video of Viviane drawing said epic hamsters and visit her website for lots of fun videos, stories and news!
