BAREBUM BILLY

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

BAREBUM BILLY is about a wild little boy who loves to strip off and run around starkers in the most inappropriate of places - his snooty neighbours' manicured lawn, the supermarket, an art museum, the zoo, a golfing green, a cricket pitch, and even his local church!

Billy's neurotic toy robot is absolutely horrified. His poor parents are embarrassed. Meanwhile, all sorts of conservative folk are fuming mad. But one day Billy meets someone special who helps turn his skill for streaking naked into a wonderful career.

Written by Nicholas Snelling and illustrated by the 2021 Australian Political Cartoonist of the Year, Glen Le Lievre (TIME, The New Yorker, The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Australian Financial Review, MAD), BAREBUM BILLY is wild, irreverent romp that brings to mind the likes of Roald Dahl, Julia Donaldson and Dr Seuss, but with a few extra shots of red cordial.

Kids adore the slapstick and silliness, while adults guffaw at the satire and sight-gags.

Independently published after a successful $64,200 global crowdfund, BAREBUM BILLY is a new classic in Australian children's fiction and a must-have for every child's bookshelf.
