Where is baby? On the chair. Where is baby? In the train. Every baby's favorite game of hiding and finding is brought to life in a simple text and rich illustrations by Sally Rippin.
Sally Rippin was born in Darwin, but grew up mainly in South-East Asia. As a young adult she lived in China for three years, studying traditional Chinese painting. Sally has over seventy books published, many of them award-winning, including two novels for young adults. Her most recent work includes the highly acclaimed children’s novel Angel Creek and the popular Billie B Brown books, which became the highest selling series for 6-8 year olds in Australia within the first year of their release. Sally is Australia’s highest selling female author and her Billie B Brown books have sold more than 4.5 million copies in 14 languages. Sally is a popular presenter in schools and at literary festivals both in Australia and overseas and has a regular program on 3RRR interviewing children’s authors and industry professionals. She is a passionate ambassador for the 100 Story Building creative writing centre for marginalized youth and has mentored many emerging writers and illustrators. Recently, she and her partner co-founded Story Peddlers, a hand-made performance tent that packs away into a custom-built bike, with the aim of bringing back the art of the roving storyteller.
Currently one of my 5 month olds fave books. Just perfect for cuddling up together to read. My only concern is the lack of adult supervision if they're constantly asking 'where is baby'? I thought you were watching her...
A sweet rhyming book to help teach locations to little ones. I was a tidge upset that this didn't have flaps to life as the book really lent itself well to having that capability.
