Eleanor's Eyebrows

A funny and unique story about a pair of runaway eyebrows.

What would you do if your eyebrows disappeared? Would you notice? Would you care? When Eleanor’s eyebrows disappear, she doesn’t care one bit. After all what’s the point of eyebrows—they’re just two silly, scruffy, hairy little bits of fluff!

This hilarious and surreal book follows the eyebrows’ adventures as extra legs for an ant pretending to be a spider, a twirly moustache for a magician, and a furry exclamation mark.
