A collection of picture books that are sure to inspire, educate and entertain the children in your life … and perhaps some of the adults too!
What we need right now is more colour and fun in our lives. And this collection of picture books guarantees to bring joy to the children (and many of the adults) in our lives. In each book loveable characters, bold illustrations, humour and beautifully crafted language allow children to explore their world, learning new things about it and themselves in the process. In these uncertain times, we have been looking for books that can provide an escape route, a moment to laugh uncontrollably and a greater sense of empathy. These delightful books have it all!
