When a brilliant story is paired with the perfect illustrations, then true magic happens! An example of this that we were recently reacquainted with is Owl Babies by Martin Waddell and illustrated by Patrick Benson (Walker Books) #books #picturebooks #childrensbook

Children's books are the cornerstone of our culture. They're the books that make us readers & shape us in the deepest ways. Even if the media ignore them, we all know how vital they are. So THANK YOU to everyone who's been sharing, celebrating & championing children's books!

My daughter gets immeasurable joy from our weekly library trips but her library card also comes in useful when the inside of the windscreen is frozen! #books #library
