Join Frank and Bert for a kickabout in this funny story about friendship and football that proves two's company but three's a crowd. From best-selling author-illustrator Chris Naylor-Ballesteros, creator of The Suitcase.



Bert puts his new ball in front of the goal and takes a loooooooong run-up. I'd better get ready, because . . . here . . . he . . . comes!


Meet Frank and Bert. They LOVE football and Frank is teaching Bert everything he knows . . . until Barbara turns up, the local football legend, and Frank drops everything to play with her.

Poor old Bert.


But when Frank finds himself in trouble, it's Bert, his BFF, who is always there for him . . .


Accolades for Frank and Bert:


WINNER OF THE NOTTINGHAM CHILDREN'S BOOK AWARD 2023




Praise for Frank and Bert:


"Full of warmth and visual humour, with neon accents for extra zing. One for fans of Jon Klassen." - The Bookseller

Chris is originally from Bradford and studied illustration and graphic design at Bradford College of Art. In 2000 he moved to France where, amongst other things, he was an English teacher before working in newspaper layout and design.
When his children were small he realised he loved the picture books he read to them, sometimes even more than his children did - the Picture Book Bug had truly bitten.
Chris has since written and illustrated several books and is currently thinking about the next one, probably with a cuppa in hand at home near Limoges.
He likes listening to and making music, wandering around the countryside, a bit of running and riding a bike. His favourite season is autumn and his favourite colour is green.
