If You Ask An Axolotl

Paperface teams with musical duo Dr Waffle and publisher Simon & Schuster on a playful, question-led children’s story.

Created with singer-songwriter duo Dr Waffle, the book marks a first for both collaborators in the picture book space.

The book follows Axolotl and Penguin as they move through a playful back-and-forth that builds from simple questions into unexpected turns in their relationship. The story is shaped around themes of curiosity, friendship, and keeping promises, told in a way designed to work aloud.

The cover reveal, featured exclusively on People.com, has introduced the project to a wider audience, and the book is now available for pre-order in the US and Canada ahead of its early December release.
