How cute is Wrestle by Maya Newell, Charlotte Mars and Gus Skattebol-James?? It’s illustrated by Tom Jellett, who is always incredible, and based on the documentary Gayby Baby which, if you’ve not seen it, I demand you step away from your computer RIGHT NOW and do so!

I looove Sara O'Leary’s A Family Is A Family Is A Family. I think Sara is one of the most talented picture book writers out there and find myself returning to this book often. It has such humour and vibrancy, and gives me a feeling like eating warm soup when it’s cold.

A2 Twig by . It shows a great example of how hard it can be to make friends in a new place when you blend in with the background but that once people get to know you they can be quite kind and helpful.

A2 Lucia and Lawrence by Joanna Francis. I love how they find a way to make their friendship work despite its obstacles. Lawrence isn’t able to come out of his safe place so Lucia goes to him which allows Lawrence to show he cares in his own way.

a childhood favourite, the Lionni (I still have my copy) and a Bruna, which is rather old too, but I have only just visited his studio and love this particular Miffy book dealing with death and bereavement very aptly I have always found.

A4 The Important Things by . I love how it explores grief, how two people can have very different reactions. The Mum eager to giveaway the Dad’s things but the boy wants to keep them. The things themselves weren’t important but what they represented.

A1 Adelaide’s Secret World by I love the quietness of Adelaide’s sadness & how she observes the world that she wishes to be apart of. So often sadness is represented as crying or something loud, it’s nice to see my sort of sadness portrayed in a book
