Cover of the book "Up" by Dr Lucy Rogers. There are butterflies, fireflies, glowworms, bats, a kite, an aeroplane, a hot air balloon, clouds and the moon on the cover. And inside the book too.

My book's out on Thurs.

I have a request - pls ask your local library to get a copy so everybody can enjoy it? (also available as audiobook).
