Shortlisted for the Klaus Flugge Prize 2022
Notes from the Klaus Flugge judges; Pierre is a bear who loves hair and roller-skating. But can his moves and his quiff impress his favourite roller disco team, the Poodle Squad? The judges loved the anarchy and edge Joseph Hollis brings to his story, and his clever use of the pages and layout. Despite the absurdity, he builds a believable world, the details adding up into something real.
Pierre is a bear who loves hair! From beehives to buzzcuts, to mullets and mowhawks! His favourite roller skating team, The Poodle Squad have the best hair around! Pierre and his friends decide to enter a roller skating competition to impress The Poodle Squad and put in hours of practice, training, hair styling and costume planning.
Read the full description
What will happen though when Pierre can't get the perfect quiff and is running late? Will he make it to the competition on time? And will he still have the confidence to skate with his friends?
Joseph Hollis is an award winning illustrator and author. He studied MA Children's Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art.
He has long since given up on the pursuit of perfect hair and has never been particularly good at roller skating but continues to believe that one must pursue their passions. This is his debut picture book.
