About the Books
Benji Davies has built a much-loved body of work for young readers, and this collection gathers five of his treasured picture books into one paperback set. At the heart of the collection sits the Storm Whale series, following a boy named Noi who lives with his fisherman father by the sea. In Storm Whale, Noi discovers a baby whale stranded after a storm and must find the courage to help it home. Grandma Bird continues Noi's story with a visit to his grandmother's windswept island home, while Storm Whale in Winter brings the trilogy full circle with a snowy seaside rescue. Alongside these, Grandad's Island offers a tender, imaginative look at loss and memory, following a child who climbs to a treehouse to find his grandad has journeyed somewhere new. Tad rounds out the set with a livelier, pond-set adventure about the smallest tadpole in a busy world, exploring growing up and friendship. Across all five stories, Davies's signature style shines through: soft, atmospheric illustrations in a warm coastal palette, paired with gentle, rhythmic text that rewards repeated readings. Themes of family, courage, and belonging run throughout, giving parents natural openings for conversations about big feelings. Whether read one at a time at bedtime or worked through as a set, these books offer young children a comforting reading experience from a celebrated picture book creator.
