From award-winning author-illustrator Freya Blackwood, comes this modern-classic picture book about sharing, making mistakes and trying your best.

Ivy Loves to Give.

Sometimes her presents are the wrong size,

don't sit properly,

taste funny,

or feel strange.

Ivy is very generous with her giving. She offers a cup of tea to the chook, a flip-flop to a snail and a dummy to the cat. The presents aren’t always perfect but they are always given with kindness.

Perfect for:

  • Toddlers and preschoolers.
  • A read-aloud conversation starter about the joys of giving gifts and sharing.
  • Gift-givers looking for a high-quality contemporary picture book.
