About the Book
The Aardvark Who Wasnt Sure tells the story of a young aardvark named Pim who sets out to discover who he really is. Feeling uncertain about his place in the world, Pim ventures into the African night to ask the other creatures who they are and what they do. Through his encounters with a wise bat, a talkative ant, and other animals of the savanna, Pim gradually learns the quiet courage of self-knowledge and belonging.
Jill Tomlinsons animal stories, though written for children, are suffused with warmth, humour, and insight into the human condition. Like her beloved The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark, this tale encourages reflection and self-acceptance themes that have resonated for generations of readers young and old.
