27.11.2025
The Cafe at the Edge of the Woods by Mikey Please has been named Waterstones Children's Book of the Year. It is the first picture book to win the prestigious award.
Rene's dreams have finally come true! She's opened a café beside an enchanted wood, and with the help of a newfound waiter, Glumfoot, she is ready to serve the finest cuisine! But the locals seem to favour a most peculiar palette, requesting all sorts of disgusting things.
Can Glumfoot's quick-thinking save the day?
Mikey Please is due to publish two novels with Harper Collins as well as two further picture books - the first of which is slated for release in Autumn next year.
