Hank Goes Honk

This humorous, character-led picture book for children ages 3-7 explores the themes of friendship and being considerate of others.

Hank is a very loud, very rude goose, and his friends don't like it one bit. Will he ever find a way to be more considerate of others?

Brand-new character for Tiger Tales and the start of a character launch, with additional formats forthcoming! Board book planned for spring 2025 and a new picture book planned for fall 2025.

Hank is one rude goose. He doesn't see anything wrong with interrupting others when they're speaking. He helps himself to the cherries on the top of other people's cupcakes. He makes loud noises in the library and movie theater...and he's upsetting everyone!

But being rude, loud, and obnoxious can't always be fun--in fact, it can be downright lonely. Will Hank find a way to be more considerate of his friends? This humorous story presents the themes of friendship, recognizing others' feelings, and being considerate of those around us. Start of a character launch, with a board book and new picture book planned!

Maudie Powell-Tuck spends too much of her time in expensive shops looking at clothes and glittery things she can’t afford, and dreaming about owning a pug named Stanley (when she's not writing, of course). She’d love to say that she runs marathons – but that would be a lie.
