Introducing your new favourite heroine: Billy who doesn't blink an eye when faced with peril, or with beasts, or with hangry cats...

A brilliantly funny empowering fable from Nadia Shireen.

One of The Observer's Best Children's Books of 2018!

'It's a great story for everyone, especially those not used to seeing themselves centre-stage'- The Guardian
From the author of Bumblebear, comes a new heroine for our times. Introducing: Billy!

Whilst on a lovely walk in the woods, Billy and her trusty sidekick Fatcat hear a terrible rumble… a terrible rumble coming from a Terrible Beast…

He’s making a Terrible Soup out of all of Billy and Fatcat’s friends!

Luckily, our brave heroine Billy has a trick or two up her sleeve (or in her hair)…

Join Billy on her mission to defeat the Terrible Beast (and save those adorable little bunny rabbits too).
