Life in pink / Life in grey

Illustrator Claire Gandini

Life is pink when we dip our toes in the sea for the first time.

But life is grey when we have to go to bed before it gets dark.

Life is pink when it is raining on a Sunday morning and we can stay in bed.

But life is grey when there we are, lying in bed, and we see a spider taking a stroll on the ceiling.

A dozen humorous examples of how life is sometimes pink and sometimes grey.

This book helps children to express both joy and anxiety.

What does a Dad smell of ? / What does a Mum smell of ?

Illustrator Claire Gandini

My Dad smells of … grapefruit after-shave. Of toast and butter at breakfast. Of clean laundry... But sometimes he smells of the cat blanket, of the soggy mop, or the dustbin.

My Mum smells of... nappy cream for my baby brother’s bottom. Of flowers picked from the garden. Of holidays in the sun. But sometimes she smells of burnt pizza,of dirty laundry in a heap, or chlorine from the swimming pool...

And sometimes they don’t smell of anything at all.

They smell of vanilla, like all the family!
