A follow-up to the international bestseller and multiple award-winning The Barnabus Project.
In a world where pets are perfectly designed and expertly trained, Barnaby seems like the ideal companion. He’s part mouse, part elephant, and proud to be the newest arrival at the Perfect Pet Shop. When a little girl chooses him, Barnaby’s dream of being loved at last comes true – until someone new appears who seems even more perfect than he is.
Cast out and alone, Barnaby sets off on a wild journey through the city in search of somewhere to belong. Along the way, he meets others who have been overlooked or cast aside, and learns that being perfect isn’t what makes you special – being yourself is.
Barnaby Unboxed is a magical, moving and visually rich picture book from the award-winning Fan Brothers, joined by their brother Devin Fan. Full of heart, hope and surreal imagination, it’s a story about friendship, resilience and finding your place in the world.
