Had an awesome time reading to the little people and their carers at the Merri Anglican Playgroup last week. We followed with a song and it got me thinking - does anyone know any good songs about giants?

Our first review and an awesome one!

When a giant spoon falls from the sky, Ruby and her friends use it for all kinds of fun. But, it turns out that it's a Giant's giant spoon.

We’re so excited to announce that The Giant Spoon is now available to buy at one of our favourites stores The Little Bookroom in Melbourne - they’ll also deliver Australia wide.

When a giant GIANT'S spoon lands in Ruby's backyard there's only one thing to do: team up with her friends and create some VERY BIG FUN! But the grown-ups are not impressed so Ruby and the gang need to find a way to return the spoon to its giant owner without getting gobbled!

Thank you for all the lovely comments! We realised it’s time to let you know a bit more about the story itself... Here’s our back cover, with a handy blurb, and a peek at what is going on inside!

If you’d like to buy a copy please DM us so we can create a waiting list - over the next couple of months we will be getting things in place so you can buy it from independent bookshops, rather than Amazon, as most indies have an online option now. In the UK it may take a little longer due to challenges around air freight (travel bans, Brexit/ports chaos, and the UK’s current Covid status status are creating serious headaches).

We will be making a GIANT noise as soon as it’s available to buy! Xx

Thanks for liking our page! Squawky Books is a newly hatched kids publishing collective and our first book The Giant Spoon has just landed!

It’s a picture-book that tells the tale of what happens when a group of little friends find a GIANT, giant’s spoon in their backyard! What fun can they have with it? ... and what will happen when they have to find the giant and give the spoon back?!

Hello! We’ve just received the first run of our first book - The Giant Spoon - fresh from the printers! What a brilliant way to kick off Christmas! 🎉⭐️🍾
