The Fantabulous Shell Parade
by Xaphons Loss
Tilly has a parade to lead, a stage to reach, and a wonderfully wiggly idea: every friend’s shell gets to choose a move. First comes Tilly’s spiral. Otto’s accordion shell inspires a long, slow stretch, and Zadie’s wings add a flutter. Soon the friends are bringing every move to the narrow arch at once—and their parade can’t get through.
With the stage waiting on the other side, Tilly must find a way to make room for everyone without leaving anyone’s special move behind. Can three friends with three different flutters—and a growing collection of parade moves—find a way forward?
The Fantabulous Shell Parade is a playful picture-book story about friendship, patience, and making space for everyone. Lively movements and gentle humor make it a joyful read-aloud for preschoolers.
