I was absolutely surprised and delighted to find a review of my two picture books that have been published by Library For All on Robbie’s Cheadle’s blog Robbie’s Inspiration. Thank you, Robbie. Please pop over to Robbie’s blog to read her reviews.
But before you go, I’d like to tell you a little about Library For All.
Library For All is an Australian not for profit organisation with a mission to “make knowledge accessible to all, equally” through a digital library of books that is available free to anyone anywhere in the world.
The focus is on providing high quality, engaging, age appropriate and culturally relevant books to children in developing countries and remote areas. The stories are often donated by authors, as were my two, or written in collaboration with local people in the communities they support.
You can find out more on their website Library For All or in a post I wrote about them a few years ago when these books were first published Library For All — A Force for Equality through Literacy.
Now, over to Robbie’s.
I bought these two delightful books for very young children for my two year old nice. The illustrations are colourful and bright and the stories are adorable.
My review of Wombat Digs In by Norah Colvin

This is an adorable book for small children about a wombat who is struggling to keep up with some of the other animals including the kangaroos who can bounce, the possums who can climb, and the fruit bats who can fly. Wombat is feeling a little dejected, but when Baby Koala falls out of the tree, Wombat’s own special skill of digging comes to the forefront. This little book is illustrated with simple and bright pictures that small children will love.
My review of Let’s Move by Norah Colvin

This is a delightful little book for teaching very young children about animals and movement. The illustrations are adorable and I particularly liked the snails…

I missed the fanfare when these were released. (Was there a fanfare?) Will order and then find a child to gift them to.

That’s very kind of you to support Library For All with a purchase, Anne. But without a child, there is no need to purchase. If you wished to support Library For All, you could make a donation on the website. Up to you. I appreciate your support. I guess the small ‘fanfare’ was embedded in a post I wrote about Library For All. I was more keen to promote them than my small contribution. 🙂
