Esme’s Rock
Esme is a small cave girl. She has the kind of voice that’s great for keeping big things with sharp teeth away but that isn’t so great for keeping secrets, like the plans for Morris the mammoth’s birthday surprise.
But when the birthday surprise is in danger of not being finished on time, it is Esme’s booming voice that brings people together, makes sure the job is done, and allows the party to go with a real swing!
Reviews
“A brilliant story with the most crisp and vibrant illustrations to show children that nothing should dampen their spirit - all talents can be used and channeled for good things!”
“This is a humorous Stone Age tale with fabulously fun and colourful illustrations which follows cheeky Esme and her best friend Morris. Cave girl Esme has the kind of voice that’s great for keeping big things with sharp teeth away but that isn’t so great for keeping secrets. Perfect for reading out loud!”
“This is a lovely tale of community spirit, the rewards of being inclusive and shared endeavours.”

“With Magda Brol’s exuberant illustrations, Simon Philip’s celebration of community spirit is a fun read aloud demonstrating that everybody has a special something to offer, albeit with a bit of channeling sometimes.”
