Synopsis

An adorable story about resilience and self-belief from the creators of Mavis the Bravest and One Camel Called Doug.

“How do I steer? And how do I stop?
What if I lose all my UPNESS and … drop?!”

Basil the bat doesn’t believe he can fly. No matter how hard he tries, he just can’t do it. But when a thundering storm threatens the safety of his beloved friend, Moth, will Basil find his wings and believe in the bat he CAN be?

  • Perfect for having conversations about fears, resilience and self-confidence with little ones.
  • A touching tale of friendship and bravery.
