Summary

L. Leslie Brooke's "A Nursery Rhyme Picture Book" masterfully intertwines whimsical verse with enchanting illustrations, creating a delightful tapestry of childhood imagination. Situated within the broader context of early 20th-century children's literature, the book revitalizes traditional nursery rhymes through a distinctive artistic lens. Brooke's meticulous attention to visual storytelling complements the rhythmic patterns of the poetry, providing an engaging auditory and visual experience that not only entertains but also educates young readers about the rich nuances of rhyme and meter. L. Leslie Brooke, an esteemed illustrator and author, was profoundly influenced by the Victorian revival of folk tales and nursery rhymes, concepts deeply rooted in his personal and artistic explorations. His craftsmanship reflects a keen understanding of the interplay between text and imagery, a testament to his background in both the artistic and literary domains. This duality is evident throughout the book, as it is designed to instill a love for reading and art in children from an early age. I wholeheartedly recommend "A Nursery Rhyme Picture Book" to parents, educators, and anyone who cherishes the delight of storytelling. This book not only serves as a delightful introduction to classical nursery rhymes but also fosters a lifelong appreciation for literature and art in the hearts of young readers.

    From the multi-award-winning author of No Ballet Shoes in Syria, comes a story of migration, conservation, healing and hope as a grieving boy forms an unbreakable bond with an injured bird.

Nero Book Awards 2024 Shortlist - Children's Fiction

After the tragic death of his mother, eleven year old Will is sent to temporarily stay with his uncle in the mountains. After years trapped in a high-rise flat, with only birds for company, Will doesn't know how he'll survive a place like this, but he soon finds solace in the woods, when he's surrounded by birdsong.
With his new friend Omar - a refugee from Afghanistan - Will discovers an osprey nest, with two small chicks inside. He forms an unbreakable bond with the birds, especially the smallest chick, who they name Whitetip. But when tragedy almost strikes again one stormy night, and Whitetip is knocked out of the nest - breaking a wing, Will is determined to save her. Smuggling her down from the mountain, he finds a way to keep her alive.
As Will helps Whitetip to grow and to heal, he finds a strength inside himself that he never knew he had. Maybe, finally, Will can find a way to take flight too...

    The speckled hen laid 12 eggs in her hidden nest at the top of the hay pile in the barn and the very last one, whom she called Humpty Dumpty having run out of names, was the largest of all. Now you may not know that eggs can talk but they can. The nest was very crowded and so the eggs began kicking each other to get more space for themselves. Humpty Dumpty, being on the very edge of the next, was kicked completely out and then decided to look about the wide world to see what he could see. You will need to listen to this story to know what happens next but I assure you it is very exciting and involves a beautiful princess and a king and a happy marriage not to mention the king's horses. And Humpty was involved in all of it. !!!
