Synopsis Authors
Waterstones Says

The ultimate picture book dream team return with a charming tale of star-crossed (quite literally) alien love and an entertainingly conveyed message about difference and tolerance. Told in Donaldson’s trademark flawless verse, The Smeds and the Smoos is another classic to rival Zog and The Gruffalo.

Winner of the British Book Awards Children's Illustrated & Non-Fiction Book of the Year 2020

Soar into space with this glorious love story of alien folk, from the creators of The Gruffalo and Stick Man.

The Smeds (who are red) never mix with the Smoos (who are blue). So when a young Smed and Smoo fall in love, their families strongly disapprove. But peace is restored and love conquers all in this happiest of love stories. There's even a gorgeous purple baby to celebrate!

With fabulous rhymes and breathtaking illustrations, this book is literally out of this world!

Julia Donaldson

It’s impossible to imagine a time before every child’s bookcase contained a sticky-finger-marked, lovingly well-read copy of The Gruffalo, so great has been the impact of former Children’s Laureate, author, poet and song-writer Julia Donaldson. Her extraordinary imagination has produced classics such as Stick Man and Room on the Broom amongst many others, making her undoubtedly the most popular author for very young children writing today.

“Up to this dream team's standard and suitable for Brexit”

I bought this for my grandson who had done a project on Julia Donaldson's books. He and I enjoyed it and I liked the dedication to 'all the children of Europe'. A good way to show differences and who... More

“Great story”

Great story of acceptance and love between different groups. Nice story to use to talk about diversity and differences between people and ultimately how love can overcome the differences.
