The Whoopsies.

Writer · United Kingdom

A Glasgow-based picture-book newcomer whose rhyming debut Which Witch? turns the five senses into a roadmap for the imagination, a joyful, read-aloud celebration of creativity and daring to try.

The Whoopsies are a picture-book newcomer working with the wee Glasgow indie publisher Razzmatazz, making their debut with Which Witch? (2026). Told in irresistible bouncing rhyme and illustrated with bold, hand-drawn artwork, the book follows a peculiar girl who discovers she might just be a witch, and turns the five senses into a roadmap for a child's imagination, through a world of sneezing doors and singing stars. Built to be read aloud, its metrical energy carries listeners along and invites them to join in, all in service of a warm message about creativity, confidence and the courage to try new things. A joyful, imaginative arrival for young readers who love wordplay, magic and the idea that they can become anything they can dream up.
