A well-chosen book is an excellent gift for any occasion. But knowing which children's book to choose can be tricky. Every year we read hundreds of children’s books in order to select the very best of the bunch for our subscription boxes. Here we suggest books for a range of ages and interests based on our back catalogue.
The book we’ve sent our Cockatoo subscribers this month is The Map of Leaves by Yarrow Townsend, a mysterious and hugely atmospheric adventure story with a striking message. Here Yarrow tells us what inspired the book and which adventure books with environmental themes she recommends you read next.
This month we sent our Parakeet subscribers the first book in a delightful new series by Sally Gardner, The Tindims of Rubbish Island, which explores our impact on the environment and inventive ways to recycle. Illustrated by Sally’s daughter, Lydia Corry, the book introduces a fun new world of characters and adventures perfect for keen young ecologists. Here we talk to Sally about what inspired the book.
