February 2024 Debut of the Month
Imagine a world in which we couldn’t leave our houses. Many of us don’t have to imagine, we can remember, but Bee Chuck’s vibrant picture book brings home to those too young to have experienced the COVID pandemic just how much the outside matters, how much we need to be there.
Bright, bold, child-like illustrations show us how the fun of cosying indoors becomes boring and how outside, once ‘too dirty, or noisy, or buzzy’, becomes more and more tempting. Finally free to enjoy it again, the book’s characters realise that ‘outside had broken free’ and more a change had happened inside them too, and they take time to stop and notice.
This is much more than a story of the pandemic, it’s a celebration of all that the wild world is and gives us if we take the time to look. The story and its execution delivers a sense of joy and excitement to readers and it’s a wonderfully rewarding book to share.
Outside is a place that nobody thinks much about. It’s somewhere to go for a walk in the park or a trip to the duck pond or to get from one place to another. Inside is much more important.

Until suddenly, no one is allowed to go outside and everything changes . . .
This brilliantly illustrated picture book shows us just how important the outside world can be in our day-to-day lives. A euphoric story to instil a love of the outdoors in young readers.
Bee Chuck grew up in Yorkshire and graduated from Falmouth School of Art and in 2020 with a first class degree in Illustration. Bee identifies as non-binary and their preferred pronouns are they/them. Their main inspirations are children’s drawings, nature and their desire to make the world a better place through art. Bee loves being outdoors and filling their sketchbooks with drawings of all sorts of flowers, birds, insects and plants which inspire and populate their narrative illustration. Bee's biggest influence growing up was their grandma Mary, who is a poet and an artist and encouraged Bee to create, draw and paint in all sorts of different mediums and styles.
