Photo of the children’s picture book ‘Bigfoot vs Yeti: a love story’ by James Foley, featuring a black and white illustration of an angry-looking Bigfoot and Yeti, standing back to back with arms crossed on the front cover, surrounded by other warring Yetis and Bigfeet.

New picture book alert! 🚨 Bigfoot vs Yeti: a love story by @jamesfoleybooks.bsky.social is a very funny and sweet, modern day Romeo & Juliet story.
And I just love the lino cut-esque illustrations!
