Happy Reading Children’s Bookshop is so looking forward to hosting the Children's author and illustrator - Fiona Lumbers!
Step into a gentle, imaginative story about play that helps little ones to explore everyday feelings…
About 'Mo's Stick'...
Mo is sad - the little mouse's favourite stick is GONE! It could take Mo up to the stars and across the sea, and no other stick will ever be as good. But was it the stick that was special, or could it have been Mo's wild and wonderful imagination? A beautifully rendered celebration of imagination. This charming new character, created by the illustrator of the bestselling Luna Loves... series, is perfect for fans of characters such as Pip and Posy, Maisy and Miffy.
Mo captures the determination, creativity and expressiveness of young children. Beautifully rendered illustrations with collage elements make this hugely appealing for young readers. With clever die-cuts throughout, this is the perfect book to inspire imaginative play.
With Fiona Lumbers’ warm storytelling and expressive, characterful illustrations, this is a story to share, talk about, and treasure.
