Bridesmaid Boris

Written by Kim Crabeels, Pelckmans.

A playful picture book on imagination, embracing who you are and loving who and what you want. For children 5 years and up. Out in May!

Today is a BIG day. Doll is marrying Action Man. So naturally Boris has absolutely no time for soccer, much to the surprise of the boys next door. And on top of that Action Man seems to have second thoughts. He kind of prefers... Bear. And Doll? She’d much rather hitch a ride than get hitched.

For a split second, Boris is at a loss. But then the party erupts...
