Description

A brand-new set of refreshingly off-beat picture books from the best-selling author of Everyone Poops.

From best-selling children's author Taro Gomi comes a set of four new books: Playing, Imagining, Growing, and Sharing.

Each book features a different pair of family members loving and learning from one another... seasoned with the honesty, warmth, and eccentricity that Gomi so beautifully delivers. A little boy imagines the journeys that he and his father go on together; a little girl speculates about her mother's life before she became a mum; an older brother thinks back to when he was the baby; and sisters attempt to halve and share everything in their path.

Each humourously narrated story is as messy, unpredictable, and endearing as everyday life with a child!

Created for ages 2-5 years.
