Cabin Head and Tree Head is Scott Campbell's gloriously strange, big-hearted graphic novel series, set in a world where everyone has something on their head, a cabin, a tree, a pool, a telephone pole. Best friends Cabin Head and Tree Head spend their days playing games, sharing tacos, making art and helping each other through life's little troubles, across short comedic adventures brimming with wit and warmth. Campbell, the creator of picture books such as Zombie in Love and Hug Machine, conjures old-fashioned charm and unpredictable creativity, keeping friendship, kindness and everyday joy at the centre. Warm, witty and wonderfully weird, and a natural next step for fans of Narwhal and Jelly and Pizza and Taco, it rewards reading aloud and reading again.
In a world where everyone has something on their head, two best friends share short, laugh-out-loud comic adventures full of kindness and delightful oddness.
