“ Snake and Lizard is a precious book in the history of Gecko Press. It was our first New Zealand book, which went on to win Book of the Year, and the start of our partnership with Joy Cowley and Gavin Bishop.” Julia Marshall, Publisher

Snake is elegant and calm, and a little self-centred; Lizard is exuberant and irrepressible. With its wisdom, acceptance and good humour, Snake and Lizard captures the essence of friendship. The stories are beautifully illustrated by Gavin Bishop in warm and clear colours of the desert.
