Inspired by @joempson after our visit with @KPSyear1 to @warwickarts on Wednesday 9th November. We made mini ‘animalyness’ books and created beautiful ink art based on our painting animals! How many different animals can you find? The children LOVED their Rabbityness Books. 🙏🏻🤩

A wonderful morning at @warwickarts to listen to @joempson talk about the journey of ideas, to sketches to a published book. #reading #lovetheabbey

Today's #booksthathelp choice is the wonderful Rabbityness by @joempson. This beautifully written and illustrated book teaches how to celebrate the life of someone who has gone and all that they gave to us. It's both sad and ultimately joyful. A delight of a book

Today is a busy day in the big outdoors!
Wander through the woods and along the river...these board books are full of friendly animal faces for little explorers to meet 🐸🐞🔎
Out now ✨
