A new, hardback edition of Errol Lloyd's enduring, classic tale of Carnival, originally published in 1978.
It’s Carnival and Nini doesn’t have a costume. Unable to join the parade, Nini sits and cries until her 'fairy godmother' arrives with a solution - a beautiful piece of colourful cloth that will let Nini join the celebration and become Queen of the Carnival.
This simple, Cinderella-esque story is full of the mood of celebration. There are whistles and metal drums, bells and guitars, and plenty of interesting costumes to look at - from astronauts to animals. Readers will feel as if they are joining in the Carnival themselves as the energy from the images seems to march right off the page into your imagination.
Nini at Carnival by Errol Lloyd was first published in 1978, but his instantly recognizable mixed-media illustrations remain timeless, full of striking primary colours, aquas and oranges that will appeal to children everywhere. A perfect story for families, schools and libraries at Carnival time, or any time of year, this new edition is sure to become a beloved classic for a whole new generation of readers.

Born in Jamaica and coming to the UK as a young man, Errol Lloyd was nominated for the Kate Greenaway Medal for illustrations for the first full-colour picture book he worked on, My Brother Sean, written by Petronella Breinburg. Errol has undertaken hundreds of school and library visits, and his children’s work also includes plays for the Tricycle (now Kiln) Theatre, the Oxford Playhouse and Carib Theatre. His main aim is to write stories featuring children from ethnic minorities, but appealing to all. He lives in north London.
