Biggle-Dink is a character created by Jamie Payne. They feature in children’s books that focus on understanding and managing different emotions and feelings.
Through the books, children are introduced to different emotions and feelings using Biggle-Dink. The collection of books is both written and illustrated by Jamie and they have been created to help young children. As well as the story, the pictures in the book show what is happening in the story so younger children can also join in. Biggle-Dink is a lovable character and the books also talk about the alphabet, numbers and colours so there is a range of subjects that can help children when they read the books in the collection.

- Crabbing in Cromer
