Sunday shelfie - Spare Kisses

Happy #sundayselfie day! It is my pleasure to welcome the wonderful Pip Harry and Yiscah Marcatili. This week we are celebrating their beautiful new picture book Spare Kisses.

Eve’s Nan has lots of spares. A spare key in her pot plant for after-school drop-ins. Seats at the table for morning tea pop-ins. A collection of teacups in all shapes and sizes. And always, yes, always, delicious surprises. Most special of all are Nan’s spare kisses that make everything right.

A warm-hearted celebration of the endless supply of love (and treats!) that grandmothers have for their grandchildren.
