Seeking the best home for our brand new picture book!
Would you make a good home for Hov (obviously)?
Alison Boyle and Elena Tochilina have been working remotely from different parts of the world during the pandemic.
Right here, right now, we are sharing the very first adventures of one lonely space-kanga who lives on Planet Hov.
Cut off from friends her own age…
Hov zooms down wormholes and meets the space-kangas Bov, Dov and Mov…
whose planets have ecological…
outdoor…
and indoor play themes.
Eventually Hov sees what was right under that long pointy nose of hers.
Returning to Planet Hov with her three new friends and trusty carer Spacebug, the motherly figure of Tree gives them all a warm welcome with her harmonising music of the spheres.
This is a journey that grows perspectives.
One of the creator’s parents died after contracting Covid-19, but our book shares a positive message about the importance of connecting with the people we love in whatever ways we can.
In a year of creative ping-pong between Moscow and Manchester, Hov’s author and illustrator are making new connections…
