Biographical Note:
Alex Latimer is a South African writer and illustrator living in Cape Town. He has a degree in English and Philosophy and has written and illustrated for many major brands across the globe. Alex's picture books are quirky and fun and full of humour that appeals to both children and adults. When he's not writing or drawing, Alex enjoys hiking the local mountains, swimming in the bay, and the odd game of table tennis.

Review Quotes:
"[E]ach ensuing page is filled with a new, very silly iteration of a tiger....the low-key message that mistakes are the pathway to mastery won't be lost on children, even while they relish bossing the narrator around." -- The New Yorker

"Latimer's dynamic visuals ramp up the energy, while his humorous text encourages readers to try new things of all kinds, embrace doing them badly at first, and keep going. A creative, lighthearted way to nurture a growth mindset." --Kirkus Reviews

"The well-integrated lesson about having to be bad many times at a new skill in order to become good at it is cemented in an author's note.... Give this to an aspiring artist or any kiddo easily discouraged by the daunting process of acquiring a new skill." --The Bulletin

Publisher Marketing:
Dream up anything you like, dear reader, and watch it come to life on the next page--just no tigers! This fun read-aloud about creativity and perspeverance will have your reader giggling and inspired, all while our hero learns that with a bit of practice, even the wildest challenges can be tamed.

This book is MAGIC! Imagine anything you like, and the illustrator will draw it on the next page. There's only one rule: DON'T THINK OF TIGERS! Ready?

Oh dear. You thought of tigers, didn't you? Please, think of anything else. A cow doing ballet? No problem! Just no tigers. Our illustrator really, really can't draw tigers...

Or can he?

As his hilariously silly and irresistibly charming drawings of tigers improve, Alex Latimer delivers a subtle but important message about practice, creativity, and embracing imperfection.

A fun read-aloud that's sure to delight time and time again, this is the perfect book for kids who love to draw--and for those who don't (but might soon!).
