Tidy

Where it came from

Emily Gravett wanted to be a witch when she was younger, but when she finally realised she couldn’t do that she decided to study illustration instead, so she could make books to read to her child before bed. The character of the badger came first for Tidy and the theme of the environment came later.

Where it went next

Tidy is very popular in schools.
