Damian said: I enjoyed writing this picture book story and feel really proud of it. Having the chance to work with a fantastic illustrator like Korky Paul was an absolute thrill. Most picture books are aimed at very young children, which I think is a shame as there is so much enjoyment to be had from picture books. Snail's Legs appeals to older readers/listeners (though of course, young children enjoy enjoy it too). Here's what Amazon says about Snail's Legs.... "Now that Frog is old, Snail is the fastest runner in the whole wood. When the royal chef arrives in search of the strongest legs to help him prepare a special birthday treat for the king, the two friends argue over who will have the great honor. They decide to race, with Snail expecting an easy win. But Snail takes pity on his pal and slows down. Frog is the champion! What will the chef do with Frog’s award-winning legs? This charming picture book features Damian Harvey’s vivid text and witty illustrations by acclaimed artist Korky Paul."
