The Only Monster

Book •
The Only Monster by Matt Coyne with illustrations by Brendan Kearney tells the story of a little monster who feels glum because he doesn’t have a big family.

Through warm storytelling and expressive illustrations, the book celebrates different family sizes and reassures only children that they are enough and deeply loved.

It explores feelings of loneliness and belonging in a gentle, child-friendly way, suitable for read-aloud sessions and conversations about family diversity.

The book’s combination of empathy and humour makes it a comforting choice for children navigating family differences.

Librarians often recommend it to parents seeking inclusive, reassuring picture books.
