A new picture book by one of Australia's favourite comedians, Peter Helliar. Meet Herman Crab. Herman is a bit of a hermit. He lives alone and spends his days not seeing or talking to anyone – and that’s the way he likes it. He likes having breakfast alone. He likes doing his crabercises alone. He likes watching his favourite TV show, alone. That is until the day a bubbly crab named Sandy scuttles her way into his life.
A fun, and beautifully illustrated, picture book about friendship and solitude and a wonderful read-aloud to discuss how different people experience friendship, and that some people need alone-time to be their best selves.
Forest Hill College Library
Herman Crab is beautifully illustrated and a really sweet story about coming out of your comfort zone and exploring a little more of the world and friendships around you

I have lived and worked my whole life in Gadigal and Boon Wurrung Country in what we now call Australia. I acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which I do my work and I pay my respects to elders past and present. I acknowledge the sorrow of the stolen generations and the impacts of colonisation on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. I also recognise the resilience, strength and pride of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and through my work, aim to help as much as I can to empower and help them thrive.
The land we call Australia always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
