"Come snuggle with me, and soon you will see ... A world full of magic, and things you can be. You've so much ahead to discover indeed, so now what is wonder is how will you read?"
Will you gobble up a book? Peck at the pages? Read in a tree? Or lie on the floor? Will you read slowly or quickly with a torch late at night? Have you thought of poetry or picture books or facts to amaze? Will you laugh, gasp or cheer?
The US publisher site has some colouring pages to use with this book.
This book could be a brilliant way to begin your reading year in your school library and it could be a way to talk about ways to celebrate Book Week (more than one week) this year. My friend and I have started our annual Pinterest collection of books and images to support the 2024 CBCA (Children's Book Council of Australia) slogan which this year is Reading is Magic. I suggest you might dip back into this over the year as this collection will grow.
Here is the website for Laura Baker. And one for Sandra de la Prada. Here is an interview and video with Laura Baker.
Sandra de la Prada was born in Barcelona, where she grew up and still currently lives. She shares a studio with her cats Chicho and Rudo, who support and inspire her and advise her through any mental blocks. Of course, so do her wonderful parents, partner and son, but mostly Chicho and Rudo. Sandra studied Fine Arts and in 2010 a publisher commissioned her for her first book and she has been working non-stop ever since on children’s books for clients all around the world. Hardi Grant
