Description
Featuring beautiful, emotive illustrations, this is the first story in a series of picture books about a befuddled, lovable Badger and his search for happiness, friends and love.
Who am I?
White and black.
Day and night.
Badger doesn’t feel quite right…
…and to make matters worse, he now has a blue bottom.
Badger is feeling sad. He can’t sleep. He asks the other animals one by one: ‘Am I white and black, or black and white?’ Can he find an answer? Is anyone listening? Does anyone care? Can he find a friend?
He speaks to several other animals, from zebra to panda to penguin to skunk, as he tries to find out who he is, but along his journey he discovers that it doesn't matter whether he is black or white, just as long as he is kind.
Featuring wry wit, deadpan humour and a heartwarming ending, Blue Badger will endear himself to readers big and small, while touching gently on themes of sadness and identity.

Rachel I, Reviewer
I love this book! Badger is having an identity crisis - is he black and white? Or white and black? He asks fellow black and white creatures what they think, and in doing so, finds new friends and realises he can be whatever he wants to be. Brilliant, laugh out loud twist at the end and striking illustrations. Little readers will love this story.

"(...) you're kind. And that's the best thing of all".
Badger is having an identity crisis. Is he black and white? White and black? Too small or big? He goes and asks other black and white animals for their opinion.
I truly enjoyed this book with its beautiful illustrations. What a beautiful book on accepting ourselves as we are.
