About Duncan Beedie
“I am a children’s author and illustrator from Bristol, UK. I’ve been obsessed with drawing ever since I could hold a felt tip in my clammy little fist, and I have fond memories of sprawling out on my parents’ living room carpet for hours on end, filling sketchbooks with my doodles.
My debut picture book ‘The Bear Who Stared’ (Templar) was nominated for the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize 2017 and my follow up ‘The Lumberjack’s Beard’ was shortlisted for the World Illustration Awards in 2018. Since then I have gone on to write and illustrate titles for Little Tiger, Quarto, Walker Books, and was recently commissioned to design the illustrated autumn trail at Westonbirt Arboretum in Gloucestershire.
When not busy drawing kung-fu kicking llamas, heavy metal badgers, or starey bears, I can be found ambling through the woods or reading ghost stories.”
About Hank Goes Honk
A honkingly-hilarious tale about the importance of being considerate to others, with stylish illustrations from the super-talented Duncan Beedie (I Really Really Need a Wee, Agent Llama, Heavy Metal Badger). Meet Hank the Goose. He’s never met a balloon he didn’t pop, or a conversation he didn’t – HONK! – interrupt.
Hank even honks in the library and during movies! But being this way isn’t always fun – and it’s upsetting everyone else . . .
Maybe it’s time for a change? Time for Hank to learn how to be an im-PECK-able goose! Only it’s not quite as easy as it looks . . .
This hilarious picture book teaches children the importance of being mindful and kind to others. With a loveable anti-hero and told with deadpan humour, fans of Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! by Mo Willems, The Bad Seed by Jory John and Pete Oswald, and I Can Only Draw Worms by Will Mabbitt will have a HONK-ingly good time with Hank Goes Honk.
