Glow is a delightful and interactive boardbook designed to capture the imagination of young children. With its clever use of lights and sounds, the book brings the theme of glowing creatures to life in a magical and engaging way. The cover alone, featuring a cheerful firefly, immediately signals the fun and wonder awaiting inside.
A follow-up to Children of the World, this book is a treasure for curious readers who enjoy interesting and quirky facts. From the very first page, it takes us on a deep dive into the diverse realities of childhood throughout history.
Children of the World is an informative, entertaining and intriguing insight into different aspects of daily life for children from every corner of the globe. Each double-spread of the colourful high-gloss pages focuses on a topic of children’s lives that will be of particular interest to other children including their homes, families, holidays, schools, games, toys, pets, food and celebrations. The quirky and lively illustrations showcase multicultural customs and diverse traditions.
When the light fades and night draws in our world may seem to take pause, but that is not so. In this book we learn about the rotation of our planet and a sky lit with the sparkle of galaxies and constellations and that is just the beginning!
What happens when the power goes, and devices stop working? With no screens to distract them one parent and their child join hands and walk out into the night on an adventure to see the world in a new way.
I thoroughly enjoyed trying to say ‘goodnight’ in Mandarin, Russian, Italian, Finnish, Swahili, Spanish, Arabic, Hindi, German, French and Korean. Each ‘goodnight’ is shown in the native language and script, and we are helped with the pronunciation.
What a Wonderful Word is a wonderful book for word-lovers of all ages.
It presents a collection of words from all over the world which have no direct translation in English, and yet they all describe situations that readers will easily understand. But these words aren’t only succinct labels for different lived experiences; they also shed light on the daily lives of the people who coined them. They reflect their priorities, philosophy and world view.
