Author Note
‘There’s something special about the feel of a picture book in your hands. The cover beckons you to read it, and little fingers want to explore it. With a child on your lap and maybe one or more cuddled up beside you, touching, turning, talking, you’re all wonderfully caught up in the story together. You can’t be busy with something else when you’re reading. Those treasured moments of undivided attention with children, the closeness and togetherness, can’t be beat! Rachel x’
