Long ago, the animals befriended a strange-looking creature who arrived from nowhere with a suitcase containing a teacup and a photograph of home.

The stranger soon found sanctuary and calm. Now, there is a new mysterious stranger who they are sure is nothing but a . . . thief! It’s only when everything goes wrong that they realise that things may not be as simple as they think . . . A lovingly crafted picture book that challenges unconscious bias with its simplicity and a heartfelt message – children and their parents will love, and learn from, The Teacup.

Thank you to all parents who order these books from us. This ensures the amazing initiative remains free to school’s. Books ordered via Our Bookshop will be signed on the day of the event and given to your child.
