AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'On Friday nights, all day Saturday and most of Sunday I stay with Na-na and Grumpy Yellow. One Saturday, I got lost - twice! The first time, a big prawn found me. The second time, I found my own way home.' This is about a child's search for identity and the need to belong, and a glorious celebration of the colour yellow.' (Publisher's blurb)
