Not in the Mood by Joseph Namara Hollis

This touching picture book from the winner of the 2022 Klaus Flugge Prize (Pierre's New Hair) is a beautiful exploration of emotions and the power of friendship.

Hedgehog didn't want to play outside, he didn't want to play dress-up, he didn't want to go sky-diving, he even didn't want his favourite noodles. He was, simply, Not in the Mood.

A heartwarming tale of a hedgehog who wakes up feeling sad and doesn't know why. But with patience and understanding, his friends help him understand that it's okay to have tough days. Through love and friendship, they show him that feelings, like the weather, can change.
