The stunning second book in the Sumatran Trilogy by Emma Sandford, What’s Troubling Tawny?, has just been published and you can purchase it from our website, the author’s website or Amazon.

Set in the same rainforest in Sumatra as Sandford’s multi-award-winning debut The Problem with Poppy, the new book is based around a lonely young rhino called Tawny who forms a friendship with a confident hornbill called Tallulah. Sadly, there are only 80 Sumatran rhinos left on the planet, so this socially conscious book about self-confidence and body image also has a strong conservationist message. As with Poppy, we have partnered again with Rainforest Trust UK and have committed once again to donating £1 per book sale to the charity. So, when you buy this book, it’s not just your child that benefits. The animals in the Sumatran rainforest do, too. 🙂

Here’s the book’s blurb:

Tawny longs to make friends with another rhino, but her shyness holds her back. When she meets a hornbill called Tallulah, she is surprised to learn that she has a lot in common with the beautiful bird. Will Tawny find a way to overcome her shyness, and can Tallulah help her find a companion?
