New book by Bob Graham

On the weekend I read Bob Graham's new picture book How the Sun Got to Coco’s House. 

It embraces the beauty of an everyday miracle – how our sun journeys from one side of the world to the other and connects us all: how it skims mighty oceans and dances over mountains and deserts; how it wakes sleepy villages and restless cities; and lights the lives of all creatures.

The book celebrates home and family, friendship and communities; and all living things. It's a book I think you'll love from the beautiful illustrations to its tender words. 

I recommend this book for all ages and I can't wait to share it with you. 

Shine a Light Book Week Show

What a morning! We loved Shine a Light ... going on an adventure with Rose and her magic mirror and Richard and his magic lamp. 

What was your favourite part? 

We'll look at the photos and talk about it in class next week. 

I hope you enjoyed the story as much as me. In the meantime, here are some pics to enjoy... 

Thank you Tim and Jamie and Perform Educational Musicals for a fantastic morning!
