Sorry, This Seat is Taken!

written and illustrated by Serena Xue

It all begins with a small bunny Zurie, who is passionate about taking high-rise photos. One sunny day, she plans a wonderful adventure on a London sightseeing bus to get photographs of one of the most fascinating attractions — Big Ben.

However, Zurie encounters Andre, a tall giraffe who also needs to sit on an open-top seat. A series of unexpected events on the bus lead them to explore their new friendship, which eventually helps Zurie achieve her initial goal.

Within the light-hearted visual imageries and easy-to-follow storyline, children will learn the moral lessons quickly with joy.
