With a Jon Klassen appeal, Steve Antony, a debut author-illustrator, is the one to watch.

A sudden gust of wind sets off a marvellous London adventure for the Queen, the Queen’s men and one very special hat. So let’s follow one determined, daredevil queen through the zoo, over Tower Bridge and up Big Ben… just where will that hat land?

A witty and stylish celebration of London, the Queen and the royal family’s new baby. And with a celebratory sparkly red foiled cover. Winner of the Evening Standard’s Oscar’s First Book prize and shortlisted for the Waterstone’s Children’s Book prize.

‘This is a wonderful romp of a read that’s a great introduction to London, royalty and all that makes Britain great.’ – The Sun

‘… this picture book is hard to beat for its sweet simplicity and charming monochromatic drawings.’ – The Times

I enjoy this story because it’s silly and it has some landmarks from London. I enjoy that it has a happy ending, the queen loses her hat but gets her hat back in the end!

It's a very funny book, with a lot of cool pictures. My favourite picture is the London Eye because it's really big and it's also really funny all of the soldiers keep on climbing up.
