Tiny Owl. ISBN 9781910328187 £12.99
A story about five brothers waiting for the arrival of a new baby in their family. The brothers are expecting another brother and are surprised when the new baby turns out to be a girl, leading them to wonder what she will be like, will enjoy doing and will grow up to be. This story explores the gender stereotypes that children may already have developed. It can be used to celebrate uniqueness and to foster and inspire an understanding that you can achieve whatever you set out to. The illustrations add to the charm and theme of individuality as they are cleverly collaged producing quirky characterisations and backdrop scenes. The book includes information about the artist and provides some lovely ideas for those children who are expecting a new baby in the family. Recommended for children 3 and up, and for parents and teachers.
