THE PEACOCK KING

Bee Chuck

Ages 3+ | 270 x 230 mm | 32pp | £12.99 |

Gel Spot UV / Metallic Foil Deboss

Hardback

Inspired by one of William Morris's most famous prints, this lyrical picture book gently tackles issues of food waste and working together.

The great tree is full of delicious fruit but is ruled by a picky and pompous Peacock King. Any fruit that’s a little too lumpy or bumpy just isn’t good enough for the Peacock King and the other birds must pick and peck, and ditch and discard . . . until the great tree starts to yellow and wither away. But when the other birds notice that new green shoots are sprouting where the ‘imperfect’ fruit was thrown away, they learn that if they look after the earth and aren’t wasteful, there’s enough food for everyone.

Bee Chuck is a recent Falmouth graduate based in Leeds who produces hand rendered illustrations to enchant young minds with the wonder of nature and the importance of caring for the people, plants, and animals that populate this beautiful planet. Their first picture book, Outside, was published by Little Tiger Press in 2023.
