From the publisher

A warm and funny friendship story perfect for Halloween! Bat just wants to make friends, but everyone is scared of him! When other animals see Bat’s shadow at their window, they’re terrified and think he’s a monster. How can Bat show them that he just wants to share some cake? This is the perfect snuggle-up bedtime story, with rich, glowing pictures, and a gentle, reassuring friendship story. Children will fall in love with little Bat, who longs to share his baking with some friends. A gorgeously illustrated picture book, full of sweet, endearing characters and a story that children will ask for again and again. I’m Not Scary would make a great non-scary gift for Halloween! A fabulous debut picture book by hugely talented illustrator, Raahat Kaduji.
