Ross and Alan were honoured when 'Billy Monster's Daymare' was chosen to be transformed into a Living Paintings title for children who are partially sighted and blind. Children can feel all of Billy's lumps and bumps on specially sculpted pages, read the text in braille and have it read to them by Alan Davies. Please check out the Living Paintings website to find out more about how you can help this amazing charity. www.livingpaintings.org
"Oh, I loved this book. I couldn't stop laughing at the way that every fear that a child has is reversed for Billy... It's a superb way to get children talking about their fears rather than bottling them up..." The Bookbag
