a giveaway (perfect for the school holidays)
A few fabulous reads have made their way to me in the past few weeks so I’ve decided to bundle them together and give them away. Winter school holidays are perfect for long, lazy reading sessions by the fire and what better way to celebrate than with new tales.
1 & 2: BIG Kids Magazine is the kind of publication that I dreamed about as a child. A contemporary children’s art publication, it celebrates imagination, creativity and self-expression. I’ve got the first (now sold out!) and second issue to give away. Creators Jo and Lilly are currently pulling all-nighters to get the third edition to the printers on time – due out in November!
3: We are big fans of Oliver Jeffers in this household. Â I love his whimsical illustrations, Che loves his grand stories of adventure and discovery. His latest creation in hardcover is The Hueys in The New Jumper, a quirky tale about standing out from the crowd.
4. First it was a film and now Hailey and Andrew Bartholomew, along with the artistic talents of illustrator Alarna Zinn, have turned Ruby Who? into a book. This gorgeous story is both sweet and poignant, a gentle reminder to celebrate the beauty of YOU.
To enter this giveaway all you need to do is be a follower of Che & Fidel and leave a comment with your email address. I’ll announce the winner on Friday 6th July and pop the parcel into an express post satchel on Monday morning.
Good Luck! And if your kids are on school holidays I hope you’re staying in your PJs ALL day.

Thanks for the chance to enter!
I heard the rustling of pages and clicked over as quick as I could. Did some body say books? Please count me in. Books are the perfect way to connect with our three and a half year old. Though I love watching him run around and playing, I so love those quiet moments where we sit together with a book. Especially if we have been having a trying day. He repeats the title with me, points to the protagonists as I say their names, his eyes light up as he understands new words, or he laughs at the goings on on the page. New books are always welcome additions. 🙂
My daughter works with disabled people of all ages, they would love the chance to win this prize, law0062@bigpond.com
Lots of lovely words & pictures there! also a big fan of Mr Jeffers!

Pick me! Pick me!
I keep telling Little Man that we are going to go to New York to stalk Ovlar (that's how we say it here) Jeffers and we will magically just happen to have all of his books in our back pack for him to sign when we 'bump' into him in Brooklyn…and then he will invite us to his studio for tea and do a little doodle on napkin for us which we will take home and frame and then I will give him the perfect woolly hat which I knitted in anticipation of becoming his friend and then after that we will say goodbye and go and buy tacos from the Mexican lady on the corner. dannilanda@gmail.com
What fun to pore over these while we sit in our PJ's sipping hot chocolate
