Here is a charming book that asks children what
makes them special. Is it their personality, the way they talk, smile, giggle
or wiggle? Is it how many cartwheels they can turn, the way they style their
hair, the shape of their face or their freckles?
Is
it the Way you Giggle celebrates diversity, movement and individuality
and differences. How often do we tell ourselves there is nothing special about me. And yet there is that magic
something that excludes us from being ordinary. Nicola Connelly’s interesting text
conjures up images of fun, the unpredictable and the uninhibited in children.
All these attributes are reflected in a joyful
parade of play and expression in every part of every illustration by the gifted
Annie White. She can turn a few words into an extended party using delicate
characters full of whimsy. Soft watercolour and pencil images reflect children
in all types of play, action, and
splendour.
Whatever it is that you celebrate in either
yourself, your children or in others, it is here, to reinforce the uniqueness
of each talent or endearing trait.
This is a book that will inspire and empower
children; one that they can relate to and in which they can identify
themselves.
Stunning fly pages begin and end the celebrations
with balloons, hats, streamers and decorations.
