Did you know that Peppa Pig’s creator, Neville Astley, was inspired by his own parenting experience?

Peppa's world of muddy puddles & giggles wasn't just born from imagination.

It was inspired by his real-life observations of children's joy in the simple things.

​Rumble and Roar: Sound Around the World​

The story begins in the morning, with sounds outside a window of a nondescript home, and takes readers across the world from mountains to volcanoes, from the savanna to the ocean, and ends back in a cozy bedroom. Some spreads are textless, but the pictures bring to life various lively images of nature where readers can easily imagine chirping birds, rushing water, and other sounds.
