Some Dinosaurs Are Small by Charlotte Voake

Do not recommend. Concept book for size. But I cant let go of the main dino looking like a bipedal lizard and plucking pineapples from the forest floor into a bucket just to turn out to be offspring of the ENORMOUS dino. He is also easy to miss. I didnt get much out of this. As with most picture books, it is cute though.

ginger by charlotte-voake

I read the board book. It seems unabridged. I love the nifty way the HEA came about. See Maru Mugumogu on youtube if you doubt. This book could be used for Intergenerational Friendship (allegory).

Ginger and the Mystery Visitor by Charlotte Voake

I dunno, maybe not all that special... esp. because it really isn't about Ginger or the nameless kitten... but it still charmed me. And reminded me of [b:Six-Dinner Sid|707710|Six-Dinner Sid|Inga Moore|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1375646830l/707710._SX50_.jpg|693985].
