Catch!

Author: Trish CookeIllustrator: Ken Wilson-Max

A warm and delightful story about a little black girl, Kiona, and her mother. The two characters play ‘catch’ throughout the story, a familiar theme for most children. Kiona’s mum allows her to try to catch various objects with little success until the very end. In the process, however, Kiona learns what is too big to catch, too small, too hard and what disappears entirely when caught. Wilson-Max’s strong and engaging illustrations beautifully complement the text.
