A book that celebrates imagination and possibility: the ordinary becomes extaordinary through the eyes of a curious child

If I Was a Banana Summary

If I Was a Banana by Alexandra Tylee

If I was a banana, I would be that one, so beautifully yellow and full of banana... This boy's-eye-view of the everyday brings alive all the wonder and oddity of the world inside our own heads. It beautifully captures the magic that a child can find in common objects and day-to-day encounters-bananas, clouds, toys, breakfast, stars. Each of these simple things sparks a new train of thought, and the result is a gorgeous mix of the poetic and the prosaic which will touch the child-and the heart-in all of us.

If I Was a Banana Reviews

This sophisticated picture book will be enjoyed by a wide age range. Highly recommended. -- Magpies (AUS)
Rich textures and muted colors add to the dreamy quality of the text, which has a thoughtful, reflective tone throughout. -- Kirkus Reviews (US)
Read this to a fellow parent today and we both ended up in the best sort of tears. So glad that @geckopress have vision to publish this -- Zoe Toft, Play by the Book on Twitter (UK)
