The Runaway Potato

A warm, engaging picture book about big feelings, brave choices, and growing in your own time.

Poe is just an ordinary potato... or so he thinks.

When he overhears that he might be used for something "special," Poe panics-and does what any worried potato would do.

He runs.

Or rather... he rolls.

Out of the kitchen, through the garden, and down the winding path, Poe races past everyone who calls out to him. Certain he knows best, he rolls faster and faster-until things don't go quite as planned.

As the world rushes by, Poe begins to wonder:

Is running always the best way forward?

The Runaway Potato is a gently humorous and heartfelt story that explores:

• Big emotions and worry

• Listening to others

• Making thoughtful choices

• Understanding that growth takes time

Perfect for children aged 3-7, this beautifully illustrated story offers a meaningful reading experience for both children and the adults who read with them.

Ideal for:

A story that reminds us all:
Sometimes, the best way to grow... is to stop running.
