Confetti

Confetti focuses on celebrations in Arianna’s family – from her third birthday party to a baby shower to the marriage of her uncle to his boyfriend. Confetti features throughout her family’s celebrations and also in the firework display and the Pride march Arianna’s uncle takes her to. As the seasons change, Arianna notices the autumn leaves and snowflakes ‘helicopter down’ – just like confetti.

Love, warmth and celebration form the background to a story which contributes to the growing body of picture books featuring diverse families, gay marriage and Pride marches.

This a well written and attractive picture book with warm illustrations in a soft palette of colours. A debut picture book from successful poet Dean Atta.
