PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- Subtitled 'A Cautionary Tale' the reader can't say they weren't warned... Alberta did all sorts of dreadful things. Like not listening when Mum said don't go into the woods on a day when she has already been dreadful thirteen times - and gotten away with her outrageous behaviour. That's because Alberta knew a silly dance that made people laugh, could smile as sweetly as a little angel - and if that didn't work, she could cry and cry until she got her own way! So when she heads into the woods, and tricks a wolf in a red hood picking flowers for her grandmother's birthday into telling her where the cake is, she just knows that even if she does eat it all, she will be forgiven. But will she be? A deliciously naughty book, and a lot of fun! Lindy
Margaret Sturton is a Hampshire-based author and illustrator who studied a BA and MA in Fine Art Sculpture, and subsequently gained an MA in Children’s Book Illustration at the Cambridge School of Art. Margaret’s mixed ethnic heritage inspires her exploration of identity and belonging, and the idea for her debut picture book A Fox Called Herbert came to her on a train journey as the words ‘I am a fox’ sprung into her mind.
