Ten-year-old Pear is struggling to cope: with her grandma's Alzheimer's, with a new school and with cruel classmates' jibes. Enter Piglet - a scruffy rescue dog, who helps Pear rebuild her sense of self. She remembers what matters most, through music, friendship and the armour of unconditional love.
Perfect for fans of Matt Goodfellow, Sharon Creech and Nadine Aisha Jassat.
Jessica Mary Ellis believes in words that land quietly but stay with you long after. She writes poetry for adults and verse stories for children, always searching for the small truths tucked inside everyday life. She hopes handwritten letters will make a comeback, because nothing feels lovelier than a letter arriving through the letterbox from someone who was thinking of you. Her poems, shared on Instagram (@jessica_mary_ellis), have been read around the world.
Jessica lives in Kent with her husband Jeff, her two children, Amelie and Jack, and their dog Teddy. When the Birds Wake Up is her debut.
