The Only Way is Badger

Badgers are best. Or so Badger thinks. "If it’s not black and white then it’s just not right!" he says. But what if he’s wrong?

A book about acceptance, difference and learning to say sorry.

"It's fair to say that Badger's plan doesn't quite go to plan for him in this lovely tale about acceptance (and the importance of saying sorry)." -- Booktrust
"With Saldaňa’s appealing and colourful illustrations and Jones’ warm and wise text, The Only Way is Badger is a clever, cautionary tale with characters to love and a poignant message about loving your friends for who they are, and not what they are." -- Lancashire Evening Post
"Jones’s playful text explores concepts of difference in an accessible way – “If it’s not black and white, then it’s just not right!” is one of Badger’s more memorable mantras – while the contemporary political parallels are bound to amuse parents reading aloud." -- Irish Times
"A wonderful book for opening discussions about diversity." -- North Somerset Teachers' Book Award
"A simply told story about acceptance, difference and learning to say sorry, which conveys its message with kindness and thoughtfulness." -- Parents in Touch
"A great book for teaching the importance of inclusion." -- SEN Resources Blog
"A delightful picture book about relationships, harmony and empathy. Highly recommended." -- Carousel

Stella J Jones lives in Yorkshire. She loves baked beans and chocolate (but not together) and building ramshackle bookcases for her far-too-big collection of picture books. On sunny days, you can find her practising yoga al fresco out on the Yorkshire Dales and on rainy days, tucked up on the sofa with her two guinea pigs, Pinky and Perky. Carmen Saldaña lives in Gijon, a rainy city in the north of Spain. After studying Arts, she worked as a graphic designer in advertising agencies before becoming a freelance illustrator focusing on children’s books, the field she enjoys the most. Carmen loves furry animals, birds, bugs and everything related to nature, her main source of inspiration.
