A story of empowerment with fairytale twists, bags of humour and an adventurous heroine to boot.

'Shireen's latest book confirms her as one of the brightest and best picture book creators working in Britain today... Sensational.' - The Observer

Our fearless heroine Billy is back!

Whilst at a fancy-dress party, something terrible happens: Billy's loyal sidekick Fatcat is kidnapped by a fire-breathing dragon. Uh-oh!

But luckily for Fatcat, Billy won't stand for that: off she goes on a brave rescue mission...

Join Billy for a fairytale adventure with a twist.

'It's a great story for everyone, especially those not used to seeing themselves centre-stage'- The Guardian on Billy and the Beast

Praise for Billy and the Dragon

These are the most brilliant, beautiful and silly picture-books out there at the moment. Little doorways of joy.
