This board book version of the original picture book is like both a warm hug and a long, joy-filled haiku. With pockets of rhyme and bundles of magnificence in both words and illustrations, this divine board book is a must-have.
Don’t forget to make your bed,
and wear socks that fit your feet…
Don’t forget to care, to play,
to run, to laugh…
The poetic dance between words and pictures means that there are spaces of great depth as you turn pages – awe-inspiring stillness, light and majesty. And then there is the chaos of family-togetherness time and friendly-creative time.
Larger than your average board book, satisfying to hold and with a gentle colour palette that really pops when there’s a dramatic moment, this is a truly beautiful and uplifting book for all ages.
Encouraging children to be awake, aware, present and caring of themselves and others, it is one of those quietly confident works sure to become a daily favourite.
Highly recommended.
