There's No Such Book

There’s No Such Book is a funny, heartwarming children’s picture book that captures the very real Book Week panic many Aussie families know well. With gentle humour and a keen eye for everyday chaos, it turns a familiar school moment into a story kids and parents can enjoy together.

It’s the night before the Book Week parade when Ellie casually announces she needs a costume by morning. Mum, caught off guard, launches into a late-night hunt for anything that might pass as a character outfit. As Mum’s imagination gathers steam, Ellie insists certain stories simply don’t exist—until morning arrives with a solution that’s… memorable.

Perfect for families navigating Book Week, classroom read-alouds, and readers who love school stories, imaginative role-play, and warm parent–child dynamics. CBCA shortlisted, it’s a delightful pick for your next shared read.
