'An A-to-Z celebration of the chaos and tenderness of the toddler years - that bittersweet window of domestic life when each day is a magical bunfight that you wouldn't trade for anything . . . or would you? From bestselling and award-winning author Davina Bell and critically acclaimed illustrator Jennifer Falkner.

'A is for aeroplane, all-gone and ant

And the apple you bit and then dropped in a plant

B is for bubbles and bee-buzz in blossoms

For bruises and bottles and bare bathtime bottoms

'A tender and funny journey through the toddler years, that never-ending but also gone-in-a-flash time when both love and mayhem reign supreme.' (Publication summary)

'A timeless message of hope - of love lost and found again - this story is a stunning debut that will warm your heart.

'I am a lucky shack.
I spend my days watching boats bob gently
under puffy clouds, on a sparkling sea.

'Surrounded by natural beauty, a seaside shack is lovingly cared for by a fisherman, until one day everything changes.

'The Lucky Shack is a heartfelt and uplifting journey through the seasons, the cycle of life, and the beauty and power of nature. If you are brave enough to let the light in, love and gratitude will triumph.' (Publication summary)
