Wrapping Things by Linda Burgess, illustrated by Hilary Jean Tapper

Beautiful story for young children about the arrival of a new baby into the family. STORYLINES NOTABLE BOOK AWARD 2025.

In this story of cosy and chaotic family life, the imaginative world of a little child is front and centre.

Rosie likes to wrap things up: her crayons, her toys, her kitten, a parcel for Granny, some baking, flowers.

Rosie herself is wrapped up in a towel after her bath; her mother wraps up warm when she goes out in the cold, dark night; and Granny wraps Rosie up in her bed when she’s too upset to sleep by herself.

And finally a brand new baby is all wrapped up in a cuddly blanket.
