With quirky and endearing illustrations. Young readers will love Frank. * The Funday Telegraph *\u003cbr\u003eSometimes it just takes someone with a belief in their ideas, in what they do and can offer to bring colour into a monochrome world thus changing that world forever, and Frank’s determination and resilience to be and make the changes is a lesson to all those who have a talent or an idea. * Storylinks *\u003cbr\u003eEncouraging those with the big ideas to not give up, to persevere while being willing to listen to their audience and even modify their prototypes to address concerns and meet new needs, this is a story that offers the boost to continue that might be needed. * The Bottom Shelf *\u003cbr\u003eA wonderfully enthusiastic story of chasing your dreams and not giving up, this story will be a hit in classrooms and the home as it is read to younger folk, eyes boggling at the landscape presented to them in the stunning illustrations using digital collage and paper folding techniques. The freezing environment is drawn with icebergs and mountains, cold icy seas and few animals: penguins and seals with an orca lurking in the background. Readers will love seeking out the features of this part of the world, adding to their knowledge of their wider environment. And they will love Frank and his determination, keeping on with his idea despite opposition, seeing in Frank a role model to emulate. * ReadPlus *\u003cbr\u003eA picture book which is great fun to read out loud! Frank is a penguin with dreams of colour in a black-and-white world. The illustrations are witty, with some subtle jokes going on… -- Lindy Jones * ABC Radio Sydney *","brand":"Sean E Avery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48926790254809,"sku":"9781761603372","price":16.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0502\/9530\/8441\/files\/9781761603372.jpg?v=1783736202","url":"https:\/\/www.arielbooks.com.au\/products\/franks-red-hat-9781761603372","provider":"Ariel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
