Billie B Brown 23-Book Anniversary Collection by Sally Rippin

Meet Billie B Brown: bold, funny, curious and wonderfully relatable. Sally Rippin’s bestselling early chapter-book series is designed for children making the important transition from picture books to longer independent reading.

The short chapters, large readable text, playful typography and illustrations make the stories feel achievable while still giving young readers the satisfaction of following a real chapter-book plot. Everyday themes—friendship, school, siblings, sport, worries, mistakes and celebrations—give children plenty to recognise and discuss.
