Do you have secret treats?
The odd bar of chocolate or bag of sweeties, to scoff when no one is
looking? A cream cake? A dab of expensive scent? A designer scarf or haircut? Or a listen of a tune that’s really hooked
you? Something you treat yourself to that
makes you smile and feel wonderful? Well,
one of my secret treats is picture books!
In spite of there being no young children in the house these
days, I still hang my nose over the picture book section in my local book shop.
I pretend I’m buying for a young friend or relation, but usually I’m not. I’m
buying a picture book for myself, as a secret treat! There are so many to
choose from: funny ones, sad ones, spooky ones, ones about pirates, mysteries, histories, fairy tales, family
tales and lots about animals: horses, dogs, cats and, my favourites, hares.
‘My Wishes for You’
is one of those picture books which should be in any collection. The words are
a treasure, written by Adele Geras, a poem of wishes from a hare parent to its
child, for everything good and lovely in life:
‘Light from behind the hill, spilling into the sky,’ or A
path that goes from here to
everywhere’ or ‘A dancing stream to follow with your dance.’
On every page are the most beautiful illustrations, by Cliff
Wright, of hares in a landscape reflecting the changing seasons.
This is a book full of love…. and I love it! I’ve given
copies as Christening gifts and to new mums and dads. But, of course, I have
one myself, on my very own picture book shelf!

That is lovely, Pauline!! Thanks so much for drawing attention to this book, which I'm very fond of!
Hello I'm so happy sharing this, I still can’t thank you enough powerful Priest Elijah, My husband left for a younger lady because i was unable to give birth due to PCOS,I was so devastated i was lonely i cried a lot i even tried taking my life, Then my friend told me about this great man Priest Elijah who helped her made her marriage perfect, I also went online and did more research about him i was not too sure but i decided to give him a try he told me not to worry everything was going to be alright, He told me all i needed to pay which was a convenient fee and i did and he did his work and sent me video proof and told me to wait 24hrs that he will be back, The next morning to my greatest surprise it was Shawn my husband on his knees begging I'm so happy, It didn’t stop there, I'm proud to say that I'm 3 weeks pregnant thank you so much Priest Elijah I'm forever grateful contact him
