Twelve Picture Books You Can Share This Christmas:
Whether you are looking for a stocking filler to delight a small person, or just want to snuggle up and read with them as the nights draw in, this is a great time of year to share a picture book with a child.
Over the next few weeks we’ll be featuring twelve picture books (and, because we couldn’t limit it to just twelve, a few alternative choices are sneaking in, too) that we think capture the magic of the season.
If these snowy, twinkly and festive adventures catch your eye, why not go and borrow or buy one, and enjoy them together?
Please follow @oscarsprize on Instagram and Twitter, with #OBP20 – and do share your own picture book recommendations as we go along!
Without further ado, we’re delighted to introduce our first recommendation:
I Completely Love Winter by Lauren Child (Puffin)
We can’t think of a better way to mark the season – and the close of the Prize’s 6th year, than to suggest not one but two Charlie and Lola classics from our brilliant 2019 judge Lauren Child: I Completely Love Winter or – if we’re feeling optimistic about the weather - Snow is My Favourite and My Best.
Explore with a young child some very relatable emotions and excitement with Charlie and the irrepressible Lola as they enjoy the cold.
