The Thunk – a new picture book by queen of verse Michelle Robinson, illustrated by Deborah Allwright. Publishes with Bloomsbury in 2023.

From the publisher:

Meet Hector Voltaire – a young explorer who can’t wait to discover all the wonders of the wide world. First up: a magical, mythical creature called the THUNK.

The Thunk has a trunk and its fur’s blue-ish pink, and it’s ever so slightly, completely . . . EXTINCT. Or at least, that’s what everyone else thinks. Hector is determined to prove them wrong, and sets out with all his exploring equipment on a grand journey of discovery.

A hilarious, flawlessly rhyming adventure from award-winning Michelle Robinson, with stunning illustrations by bestselling Deborah Allwright, illustrator of There Is No Dragon in This Story. A world of adventure awaits.
