Description

'Hush, little baby, and go to sleep, Mama's going to give you a woolly sheep...' Regarded by some as the mother of children's publishing in New Zealand, it is fitting that Joy Cowley has penned this warm hearted Kiwi version of a traditional lullaby, with words in both English and te reo Maori. From sheep to kowhai flowers, and from paua shells to silver ferns, this special picture book will be a treasured addition to any home library. Stunningly illustrated by Andrew Burdan with pictures that could easily grace the walls of any art lover's home.
