Badgers are best. Or so Badger thinks. “If it’s not black and white then it’s just not right!” he says. But what if he’s wrong?

A book about acceptance, difference and learning to say sorry.

"It's fair to say that Badger's plan doesn't quite go to plan for him in this lovely tale about acceptance (and the importance of saying sorry)."

"With Saldana's appealing and colourful illustrations and Jones' warm and wise text, The Only Way is Badger is a clever, cautionary tale with characters to love and a poignant message about loving your friends for who they are, and not what they are."

"Jones's playful text explores concepts of difference in an accessible way - "If it's not black and white, then it's just not right!" is one of Badger's more memorable mantras - while the contemporary political parallels are bound to amuse parents reading aloud."

"A wonderful book for opening discussions about diversity."

"A simply told story about acceptance, difference and learning to say sorry, which conveys its message with kindness and thoughtfulness."
