That's what makes Jo Weaver's "Little One" so instantly striking from the get-go.
This tender parent and child tale of Big Bear and her little cub is really atmospheric and involving as Mum and Cub take their first steps out into the big wide world together.
Mum has plenty to show her cub, and she spends the day teaching the cub all the tricks she'll need to survive in later life.
Each page spread really draws you in, it's got that fuzzy pencil-charcoal-sketchy feel that really is quite unique and dazzling to see in a children's title...
