Grow by Jess McGeachin
This fabulous picture book is not only a showcase but a celebration of the sheer variety to be found in our world.

However, once you’ve read it, you’ll be desperate to go out and discover more about this magical world of ours for yourself.
This is such a clever book with a gentle story and a serious amount of information presented in a very accessible and interesting manner.
Each page is a delight. The detail and absorbing illustrations with their soft colour palette ensure this is a book I would encourage every reader to take their time to enjoy.
What a very reassuring and calming book.
‘Grow’ is the perfect reassurance of how normal it is to grow up and the wonderful thing is, we are not alone, we are all growing together.
