The Land of Yep

A playful journey to a quirky seaside town where cake and kindness win over the mysterious Yeplings.

What could we do to show the Yeplings they can trust us? Join our brave narrator on a wild and wacky scooter ride down a cobblestone track to the Land of Yep—a seaside town where shy Yeplings build homes from recycled odds and ends. We’ll visit the Yepschool, the Yepstore, and even Dr. Yep’s house… but how can we show them we’re kind? Could cake have anything to do with it? Told in bouncing rhyme and brought to life with exquisite, quirky, detail-rich illustrations, The Land of Yep is an uplifting tale about kindness, curiosity, and the surprising magic of small acts of kindness.
 

• A warm, humorous narrative that gently encourages empathy and challenges stereotypes.
• Perfect for reading-aloud, with playful rhyme and a vividly imagined world children will want to revisit.
• Whimsical, quirky, detail-packed illustrations bring to life a recycled seaside world brimming with charm and character.

Chris Macdonald writes stories about going on adventures, stories inspired by his own experiences in some of our planet’s harshest environments, whether traversing glaciers in Iceland, trekking across Australian deserts, or interacting with wild orangutans in the jungles of Borneo. He also enjoys time at home in Australia, occasionally helping his mother move heavy things around, and being in the gym moving other heavy things around. Chris sincerely hopes you and your family will enjoy his debut book.
