DANNY BLUE’S REALLY EXCELLENT DREAM Written & Illustrated by Max Landrak Danny Blue lives in a world where everything is – as you might guess – blue. But what happens when Danny dreams of a new colour? How will he describe it? Can he create it? And how will people respond to this new colour, ‘Not-Blue’? This is a whimsical tale of dreams and creativity. It shares a message of perseverance and thinking outside the box, and will be enjoyed by children aged 4-7.
IMAGINE Written by John Lennon, Illustrated by Jean Jullien As the name suggests, this is an illustrated version of John Lennon’s iconic song, and is a beautiful way to introduce children to the classic lyrics. Whether you prefer to sing or read them, the message of peace, love and inclusion rings true, and is as important now as it was when the song was written over 45 years ago. The bright, powerful illustrations tell the story of a bird on its journey around the world, taking all the birds it meets along the way under its wings regardless of colour or species. This is a lovely book to share with children from birth, and would make a perfect bedtime lullaby as well.
