Description:
Rock and Roll are very different. Rock is strong and Roll is soft.
Rock hates attention. Roll loves it.
But hang on . . .
Maybe they have more in common than we think . . .
This standout debut from Ruby Amy Thompson introduces two unforgettable characters!With bold visuals, big laughs, and a brilliantly playful layout, this is a story that celebrates connection; Rock and Roll always appear on opposite pages, yet their worlds are cleverly linked through shared experiences.
Perfect for fans of The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt and Oliver Jeffers, Odd Dog Out by Rob Biddulph, or Squirrel and Bird by Laura Baker and Stacey Thomas. This is a joyful picture book packed with read-aloud energy. A brilliant springboard for conversations about first impressions, identity, and all the weird and wonderful things that bring us together – even when we seem worlds apart.
