A Good Place by the internationally acclaimed author-illustrator Lucy Cousins is a charming board book that invites young readers on an enchanting journey alongside four lovable insect friends. This delightful tale encourages children to reflect on how everyone can contribute toward making our planet a better home for all living beings.
In A Good Place, readers follow Bee, Ladybird, Dragonfly, and Beetle as they search for the perfect habitat. Each creature has specific needs: flowers for Bee, leaves for Ladybird, a pond for Dragonfly, and dead wood for Beetle. However, their quest is filled with challenges and dangers, teaching children about resilience and the importance of protecting our environment.
With its gentle narrative and vibrant illustrations, A Good Place not only entertains but also nurtures a sense of responsibility towards the environment. Lucy Cousins' artistic flair brings the natural world to life, making it a perfect addition to any child's library.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
