Publishing in the Walker Studio imprint, this witty, magnificently-illustrated book plays with the idea of "sorting".

The animal kingdom, modes of transport, musical instruments, art and architectural movements, and even the clouds in the sky … anything and everything can be sorted into groups! Framed by a charming narrative about a father and son, this is a book about categories; on a journey into town, a boy called Arvo explores the many ways in which we classify the world around us, to fascinating – and often charming – effect. One of a Kind marks Neil Packer’s debut as an author-illustrator, following his extraordinary artwork for Peter Frankopan’s The Silk Roads. With a witty text and breathtaking pictures, this story deserves its title: a true original by a remarkable talent.

Industry Reviews

A magnificent book that is as captivating and witty as it is beautifully illustrated. I loved it. * Peter Frankopan *
It is clearly a great achievement with some incredibly beautiful page design. * Alexis Deacon *
Oh wow, Neil! Oh WOW! It's wonderful. * Gillian Cross, adapter of the text of The Iliad and The Odyssey *
Wow! This is an out of the box quirky stunner. One of Kind by Neil Packer is a charming story about sorting and classifying the world around but ultimately it's a story about what makes us...us. The amazing art invites hours of page-gazing. Double Wow!!! * Simon Smith, Primary School Principal *
Recommended for any library. Readers will understand the basics of genealogy through a straightforward narrative. * School Library Journal *
