Dearest One

Imagine the words your grandmother might say if she wrote you a letter…

Full of positive, loving words of comfort and advice, ‘Dearest One’ is such a special book. Each spread offers a gem of wisdom -dare to smile…choose your path…remember who you are- and then expands on this.

Every section is accompanied by a vibrant illustration, reflecting the meaning of the words. As each is shared, there is much to discuss and explore whatever the age of the child to help them navigate the pleasures and sorrows life offers. There is a real sense of the healing power of love in this shared wisdom which is both uplifting and soothing.

Children might also enjoy creating their own illustrations for each sentiment or creating their own book with an adult using pieces of advice they choose together. Some might also be inspired to discover who their ancestors are and find out more about family stories and traditions.
