A Home is a Nest is a beautiful gift book, exploring the concept of 'homes' and 'family' in nature, from the cosiness of winter dens, to the arrival of spring and a bird's first flight. Drawing parallels between the way animals care for their babies and how humans look after their own, this stunning book is made for snuggling and sharing, with a gentle narrative that's perfect to read aloud at bedtime.

This is the perfect gift for those entering the precious early days of parenthood, by award-winning artist and Waterstone's Prize shortlister, Emma Carlisle.
