The perfect gift for anyone welcoming a new child into the family, this comforting picture book explores the idea of 'home' through nature's lens.
A Home is a Nest is a beautiful gift book that explores the concept of 'homes' and 'family' in nature, from the cosiness of winter dens to the arrival of spring and a bird's first flight.
Drawing parallels between the way animals care for their babies and how humans nurture their own, this stunning book is perfect for snuggling and sharing. With its gentle narrative, it's an ideal choice for reading aloud at bedtime.
This is the perfect gift for those entering the precious early days of parenthood, by award-winning artist and Waterstone's Prize shortlistee, Emma Carlisle.
