Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:A picture book about shyness from a new and truly innovative artist. Halibut Jackson is shy. He would prefer not to be noticed at all. But he loves to make his own suits, especially suits that help him blend into the background: He has a flowered suit for the park, a book-patterned suit for the library, and a fruit-adorned suit for the shops. But mostly he stays indoors. When Halibut's invited to a party at the palace, he's too bashful to go, until he decides to make a palace-patterned suit. "No one will even notice me!" he thinks. Except that it's a garden party... and "everyone notices Halibut. Soon, he's the most popular guy in town, thanks to his skills with a needle and thread, and his fabulous fashion sense. This is a winning homage to shy people everywhere. Do you know a Halibut Jackson? Review:"Halibut may prefer to hide, but kids will immediately recognize the authenticity of his feelings." Publishers Weekly Review:"The interesting use of illustration will appeal to young readers." Children's Literature Review:"The playful, jam-packed scenes, which distract the eye from the camouflaged Halibut, add a whimsical seek-and-find element that extends the book's appeal." Booklist About the AuthorDavid Lucas studied illustration at the Royal College of Art. This is his first book as author and illustrator.
