Book of Zac

Four stories in verse about a small boy called Zac. His adventures include going to his first football match with his father, falling ill and watching the events on the street outside his house and enjoying a birthday party organised by his much put-upon mother!Stephen Miles, who wrote these stories for his daughter, modelled his young hero on a real boy. The charm of the text is matched by the fresh simplicity of the images.

Stephen Miles lives in the Lake District with his wife and special needs daughter, Lois, whom he has been writing stories for, for the past 10 years. Stephen’s inspiration is drawn from the places, people and creatures around him and the adventures that he and his family encounter in and around the Lake District.
The character in this book, Zac, is based on a real life young boy and the tales about his life are inspired by true events.
