My Very Own Space
Award-winning, bestselling author Pippa Goodhart explores the idea of personal space and sharing in My Very Own Space. We are introduced to a little bunny that just can’t seem to find a quiet corner to read his book. This idea of having a space of our own is something that most people, if certainly not most children, can relate to.
The beautiful illustrations bring this story to life. Rebecca Crane’s rabbits are bouncing with life. Her illustrations are warm and her compositions are fantastic, in particular her nine rabbits disturbing this perplexed bunny settling down to read. Children will love to read and re-read this book because of the wonderful illustrations and minimal text accompanying them.
The beautiful quality of this book sets the standard for this story. Just like Goodhart’s story and Crane’s compositions this book is full of warmth and is very much a book that will be loved by children from its cloth spine to its textured pages. It is a book that will have its very own space on a child’s shelf and in their heart, one which can be enjoyed, hopefully, in a nice quiet space of their own.
