Australian author, Kate Mayes teams up again with illustrator, Sara Acton in the
follow up book to Daddy Cuddle with
this beautiful story that highlights the bond between mother and baby.
Sara’s
ink and watercolour sketches depict body language and facial expressions.
Coupled together with Kate’s story, her minimalist approach to words, creates a
story that allows for imagination and interpretation by the reader, as well as
highlighting that words are not always necessary to convey a message.
The
story centres on one little bunny who should be fast asleep, but like most
children, would rather play. Bunny tries everything to avoid going to bed and
falling asleep – he doesn’t want to miss out on anything.
His
mummy is there with him every step of the way; playing with his trucks, talking
through bananas, reading stories, singing songs and naturally sharing lots of
cuddles and snuggles – any activity that might wear little bunny out and entice
him to go back to bed. This story will resonate with every mother who has ever
tried to get their little one to sleep.
But
who will fall asleep first?
This
beautiful story is the perfect bedtime story. It showcases the nurturing aspect
of Mothers and babies and the sheer joy, happiness and adoration that comes
with that special bond.
