While You Were Sleeping

This is the first book I wrote as well as illustrated. The book takes a nighttime journey around the world to see what animals get up to while we are tucked up in bed. It is also a counting book, beginning with one tiger, then two mice and so on. It has sold extremely well worldwide, and in the UK it is a schools’ level one Sats book. Nursery World magazine (UK) listed it as a “must-have counting book”.

What others have said about the book:
…luxuriantly illustrated… Butler’s soothing, restrained text reads like a lullaby, but his full bleed, double-spread animals are the stuff of wide-eyed wonder, especially when he renders his subjects in close-up.” Publishers Weekly (US)
