Tilly the Swan is a true story of a rare cygnet born at South Dock, Canary Wharf, who looked different from the very moment she hatched.
While the other baby swans were grey, Tilly was born golden cream, a special genetic condition known as White Polish. From her very first days, she stood out. But what truly made Tilly special was not how she looked, but her brave, curious and courageous spirit.
As Tilly grows, she forms an unexpected friendship with a little girl who visits the dock each day. Through their special bond, children discover a touching story about being brave, embracing differences, kindness, trust, empathy and the importance of caring for animals and wildlife.
This beautiful picture book gently teaches children that being different is something to celebrate and can be your biggest superpower, that confidence comes from within, and that compassion towards animals and nature truly matters.
Perfect for children aged 3 to 9, Tilly the Swan encourages conversations about inclusion, being brave, friendship, emotions and animal welfare, making it ideal for homes, classrooms and libraries.
A true story filled with heart, courage and warmth one that children will remember long after the final page.
