About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child is exploring a new hobby that seems unusual or doesn't fit a stereotype. Mr Biff is a big, strong boxer, but his secret passion is making and mending tiny, delicate doll clothes. This humorous story from the classic Happy Families series gently celebrates individuality and the joy of pursuing what you love, regardless of what others might expect. It is a wonderful, lighthearted read for early readers that reinforces the idea that you can be strong and gentle, and that true happiness comes from being yourself. The simple text and funny illustrations make it a great confidence booster for children just beginning to read on their own.
