The Work is a book of lyrics and illustrations by the late Scott
Hutchison, lyricist, vocalist and songwriter of Frightened Rabbit.
This paperback follows the sold-out limited hardback edition and
presents the band's complete lyrics (including B-sides and
rarities) with handwritten excerpts by Scott, alongside his
illustrations. The book is meant both as a celebration of and
tribute to Scott's unbridled creativity. It aims to fulfil his
wishes by being the book that he wanted to create and had spoken of
creating before his death. Readers are advised that The Work
includes content about topics that some may find upsetting,
including references to suicide. "Seeing this book come to life has
been something of a bittersweet experience. Reading the lyrics
without music really brings home the stark reality of what Scott
was going through and at the same time highlights the talent of
someone who I consider to be one of the best songwriters in the
world. This would've been a different release had Scott been
involved but we all felt it was important that his lyrics be
celebrated and given the spotlight they deserve. As Scott has said,
these words were always meant to be accompanied by music, but the
impact of digesting them without is no less great. Pick up this
book of words, hold it, share it and immerse yourself in the world
Scott created by opening not only his heart but his whole soul to
the world." Grant Hutchison (Scott's brother and drummer of
Frightened Rabbit)
A Children's Book Council of Australia Notable Book. "This
cleverly presented book is reminiscent of Jim Henson's 'Muppets'
books... a welcome resource in the classroom for teachers who are
helping their students negotiate the tricky friendship road."
ReadPlus Bear has lots of friends if you count her toys, but she's
note sure how to make real friends. And she especially wants to be
friends with Koala and Lamb. They both have fluffy ears and like
green things. What's a timid bear to do? Luckily, Bear discovers
that friends don't have to all like the same things; they just have
to find things they enjoy doing together. And Bear is great at
that. A story about making friends while keeping the qualities (and
quirks!) that make you unique. "A friendship tale that stands out
for its unusual visuals and modeling of a flexible, supportive
threesome.†Kirkus Reviews
