Happy publication day to You’re Strong With Me by @chitrasoundar and @poonammistryart! . I’ve been so excited for this to be released! I loved Chitra and Poonam’s first two books, but this might be my new favourite. In this story we follow a little baby giraffe as her mother teaches her about the world, and assures her that until she gets older, she’s ‘strong’ with her mother. . The story is beautifully written and I imagine it is a very comforting read for children. The illustrations, as always, are mesmerising. Each page is a new work of art that compliments Chitra’s words perfectly. If I could, I’d definitely get a few of the pages framed! (Bonus: there are also beautiful gold foil details on the cover) . Available for purchase In the UK on 3 Oct 🇬🇧 and in 🇺🇸🇨🇦 on 1 Oct or on Lantana’s website: www.lantanapublishing.com . Thank you to @lantana_publishing for sending me a review copy and letting me take part in the bookstagram tour! . . . #yourestrongwithme #chitrasoundar #poonammistry #lantanapublishing #bookreview #bookstagram #bookstagramtour #kidlit #childrensbooks #childrensillustration #bookcover #bookcoverart #beautifulbooks #kidsliterature #youresafewithme #youresnugwithme https://www.instagram.com/p/B3KKyX7A_Rp/?igshid=1u7yeyf7ohzdz

(Gifted) You’re Snug With Me by Chitra Soundar and Poonam Mistry . Are you feeling the winter vibes yet? It’s been getting colder here in the UK so I definitely am! But if you’re not, this picture book is sure to put you in the mood! It’s about polar bear cubs and their mother in winter staying snug and it’s adorable, with some important messages! Also how breathtaking are these illustrations? I’m amazed every time I turn the page. Swipe to take a look inside! 🌨❄️ .
