The January cover of BfK features an illustration from No More Television!, the latest title from Philippe Dupasquier who is the subject of this month's Authorgraph. The book is published by Andersen Press and we're grateful to them for their help in using this on our front cover.
The Wild Woods
A delightful story about a little girl and her grandad who go for a walk together. On the way they see a squirrel and Jess decides to chase and catch it to keep as a pet. How and why she changes her mind is never explicit but the splendid, lively illustrations hold the clue with their bold, sweeping views of the woods and water. A simple and charming story to help young children think about the natural world and whether it exists in its own right or just for our entertainment.
