What can you carry?

A pebble? A teddy? A bright red balloon? A painting you made?

A hope or a dream?

This gorgeous, reassuring picture book celebrates

all the precious things we can carry, from toys and treasures

to love and hope.

Best of all, it shows how we can all care for each other

with the love we carry in our hearts.

Children will identify with so many of the beautiful,

familiar scenes in the book, whether it's carrying a special

pebble on the beach; cuddling their favourite teddy bear . .

. or being carried on their dad's shoulders!

The story is written in lyrical rhymes, perfect for reading

aloud.

The fabulously colourful illustrations

are full of fun and warmth.

This is a warm hug of a picture book, full of

inspiring messages and spectacular illustrations
