Shelly Unwin (text), Katherine Battersby (illus.), You’re One!, Allen & Unwin, June 2017, 26pp., $12.99 (Board Book), ISBN: 9781760291273
This book is the first in a series which highlights the developmental changes experienced in early childhood, from ages one to five.
The illustrations are bright and cheery, with the characters of the duck and its duckling used to portray the significant and special milestones experienced by a one year old.
As explained in the blurb, this book ‘celebrates what it’s like to be new to the world’ and identifies some other special ‘ones’. Whether that is ‘one earth to share’ or ‘one tummy to tickle’, they’re all important and relevant aspects of being one and growing up.
A playful, colourful and inviting board book celebrating the special moment of turning one.
