Julia Donaldson has kept a list of names of all the people she has ever signed books for. Here she celebrates her readers and bookshops in this charming picture book.
I've signed for Fern and Forest,
for Misty, Dawn and Dew.
I've never signed for Kanga,
but once I signed for Roo.
From months of the year, colours, flowers, food and gemstones, Julia has seamlessly grouped all of the names she has signed in books and woven them together in her unmistakable rhyming style.
Set in a magical transforming bookshop, A Book of Names is a love letter to the world of books, bookstores, and readers and illustrated by the award-winning Nila Aye.
Readers will love trying to spot their name, and even if it isn't included in the book, there is a dedicated space for them to add, or even better, for Julia to sign!
