Little Passenger

Little Passenger.

I have made space for you inside my heart.
It will always be a little bigger than you are.
To give you room to grow.

Little Passenger is a stunning love letter to mothers and babies. With a bookplate for personalisation, this is an ideal keepsake and the perfect go-to gift for baby showers, naming ceremonies, or christenings for any expectant mother. It's destined to be a natural classic.

Mother and baby are growing together, preparing to greet the world. Through simple, deeply moving words and truly stunning illustrations, we experience an intimate journey through pregnancy and witness a baby developing from a little pea to pumpkin-sized and finally, into a baby in their mother's arms.

This picture book journey encapsulates all the vulnerability, hope, and tenderness of a new pregnancy, highlighting the deeply felt connection between a mother and her unborn child. It also includes a sensitively worded dedication to all the little passengers who never made it, acknowledging that many pregnancy journeys are not always straightforward.

The debut picture book from Deirdre Sullivan is perfectly complemented by Jessica Love, the illustrator of Julian Is a Mermaid, who masterfully illustrates the themes of movement, light, and love, using colour and space in a way never seen before on a picture book page.
