Walter the cuckoo wasp has a problem...He doesn't have stripes like other wasps.

While the wasps buzz proudly through the garden showing off their neat black and yellow stripes, Walter's body shimmers with metallic colours instead. He feels different, awkward and out of place.

Walter's journey takes him to Rainbow's End. Here, he meets creatures who try to help him look at himself in new ways. Walter eventually sees someone as different as himself and realises that his sparkling colours are what make him wonderful. 

Filled with gentle humour, warm storytelling and inspired by the fascination of nature, Oh No! No Stripes! encourages children to:

• celebrate their individuality

• build self-confidence

• understand that differences can be strengths

• appreciate the beauty of the natural world

  
  

Perfect for young readers who enjoy insects, gardens, rhyming stories and uplifting messages about belonging and self-acceptance.
