The Hero in Childrens Books - Emma Chichester Clark

Emma Chichester Clark's series of Melrose and Croc, an Labrador and a baby crocodile is an odd friendship pair but the series shows of their friendship and support which is inspiring for young children

In friends for life the characters are able to discuss what they like and dislike about each other including; liking how each other listens and helps, but disliking the mess or noise. It is tackled in a way that children can relate to.

She also illustrated a series about a blue kangaroo who gets worried about the new arrivals in his owners bed. Clark's choice in colour really captures the mood in her books
