Pom (a small child) and Pim (a small stuffed toy) have a day of good luck and bad. The sun is shining and the weather is warm. But Pom trips and falls. Then Pom finds money and buys ice cream, only to get a tummy ache after eating it. Pom finds a balloon. Unfortunately it pops. But luck is about perspective, too. After Pom gets the idea to make Pim a raincoat out of the popped balloon, it is good luck, indeed, when it finally starts to rain. A simple, quirky picture book is spare in style but full of charm. (Ages 3–5)

Pom and Pim's day is full of ups and downs, and luck both good and bad. Is eating a huge icecream truly a good idea? Is it really bad luck that it's raining? Or is it good luck...? A wonderfully simple story told with few words, unique illustrations, humour, and heart. Why we chose this book "Pom and Pim is a perfect example of how a full, drama-packed story can be told in fewer than 100 words. " -Julia Marshall and Jane Arthur, Gecko Press
