Welcome to the Cucumber Squad
There’s always something going on in shared flats; things are constantly changing, and it just goes on and on. Luckily, that’s the case with the ‘Cucumber Squad’ too! In this new volume, no one’s moving out just yet, but someone’s moving in. Even though there aren’t any rooms left. And it’s… a girl!
Rosa, the intellectual doe, turns up at the house in the middle of the forest with nail varnish and a wheeled suitcase full of clothes and cosmetics. Rosa is the sort who’s either talking non-stop or reading. She soon realises herself that she fits in well with this bunch. When, after a while, she suggests they could all go on holiday together, that’s exactly what happens. But homesickness quickly sets in…
As always, this cheerful, chaotic community effortlessly embodies successful inclusion. And, as always, this is accompanied by plenty of wordplay, situational comedy and refreshing, inviting illustrations.
