An excerpt from the story
Square window, wide window, window up high.
My window, your window, windows with blinds.
Windows with curtains and windows with lights,
Windows with sleeping cats curled up inside.
Windows where people are watering plants,
Windows where people are learning to dance,
Learning to sew, learning to cook, falling
In love with the words of a book. The sounds
Of a song that float through
the air, the smell of people
cooking in homes everywhere...
Why do we need a kids’ book about curiosity?
To be curious is to grow, to learn, to be inspired; to never understand the feelings of boredom or idle-mindedness. This is the world of the child, and curiosity is its lifeblood. To enrich the life of children is to fuel and ignite their curiosity in every single facet of the world around them.
April's Window was written to do just this. There is not a child that has read this story and walked away without questions and intrigue at the pictures they explored and the words that so poetically adorned them.
This gorgeous picture book about curiosity strikes right into the heart of what Ethicool Books does best: crafting kids' books that change the world.
A gentle look at life in Covid in the city. The end is a little obtuse i relation to the rest of the story, but will engender discussions.
Well done !!
I purchased books for my grand daughters 4th birthday. Unfortunately due to covid I am unable to give them to her yet but I have read them all. They are all beautifully written and very educational. I know she is just going to love them. Also have the calico bag to store them in which is sturdy and well made. Ver happy with my purchase . Thankyou. Julie
My grandson loves it! The illustrations are good conversation starters so much so we often get caught up in our own stories😊. We're looking forward to getting more.
This book was an easy and fun read to my grandchildren. The rhymes made it easy to read and captured the attention of the kiddies. A very clever book about Covid-19 in a child friendly manner that enabled me to explain how other countries in our world had to deal with the pandemic. We were far luckier in Australia.
It's a lovely , beautifully illustrated book ...lots to look at and a beautiful story
Beautiful book appropriate for these times a gift for my daughter teaching in the UK
The illustrations are beautiful and I love the quality of the book
A beautiful book.
Delighted with the books.. so colourful and so up to date with the world just now.
These books are very special and beautifully illustrated.
I bought this as have granddaughter April. Thought it might mention name other than in title. Also too young for her at 6. I should have researched more. Message of book fine, appreciation of emergency services.
