What Makes a Lemur Listen? by Samuel Langley-Swain and Helen Panayi
Written by Samuel Langley-Swain and illustrated by Helen Panayi ‘What Makes a Lemur Listen?’ is a page children’s story book about Maki the ring-tailed lemur. Maki loves to bathe in the sun and huddle under the moon, but the one thing he doesn’t like to do is…listen! Tired of following his mum’s rules, he sets off on an adventure into the Madagascan forest but finds that life isn’t as easy or safe as it seems.
Followed by Sophia, a little chameleon hidden in the bushes, can Maki learn to listen and make it home safely to his troop?
This book is a lovely story of adventure and the importance of listening and learning.

Owlet Press was founded by Samuel Langley-Swain in 2018, working with authors and illustrators with a shared passion – picture books which reflect the true diversity in children’s lives. Focusing on the challenges children face today and packaging these big issues into inclusive and accessible stories for small readers to digest and discuss with friends, families and schools. This indie children’s book publisher aims to change the world one book at a time, along with the best authors and illustrators to tell these stories.
Owlet Press have always published books that are ‘incidentally inclusive’ from day one and look to push this further with every title. With authors and illustrators from all walks of life – diversity is the driving ethos within this publisher. Owlet believe that it is key for young readers of colour to see children like them (and for white, non-disabled children to see children that don’t always look like them) in books experiencing the joy and magic of playful, imaginative stories – a belief that we share at Babipur.
