The Good Neighbourhood

Everyone in the neighbourhood is Mikey’s friend…except Mr Grumble. He pops footballs. He shouts at loud music. He hates picnics. But Mikey is sure that deep down he’s a big gooey marshmallow. Armed with a camera and a crazy idea Mikey sets out to prove it. What he discovers might just change the whole neighbourhood. Join award-winning author-illustrator Ashwin Chacko for launch of his new book, The Good Neighbourhood (Bad Book Press) with interactive storytime and a drawalong.
