Here are three titles for the kids in your life. If you’re anything like us, there are increasingly more little readers to buy for, so make sure you’ve got them covered with great reads.

At the Window by Hope Lim

Spare, layered text and soft, shimmering watercolour illustrations reveal how curiosity – and a change in perspective – can light up the world and forge surprising friendships.

Every day, while walking their dog, a child passes a woman seated in her wide front window. What is she doing? What does she see? Days pass, and the two neighbours exchange smiles, nods and waves. Soon they’re calling out “Hello!” But one day, the child finds the wide window empty and a For Sale sign outside. When the opportunity to look out through, instead of up into, that now-lonely window arrives, the rewards ripple out in heartwarming ways.

This beautifully illustrated picture-book ode to intergenerational friendship invites readers to reflect on how a different frame of reference can utterly transform the familiar and lead to completely new delights.

Ned Needs to Build by Rhonda Ooi

Ned and Sam enjoy building, and together they fill their home with creativity.

Ned loves building incredible depictions of cities with his wooden blocks, but his little brother Sam often knocks them down. When Sam rebuilds, Ned ponders what Sam's constructions might be. When visiting the local park, Ned notices strange objects and finds that they are called sculptures. Ned realises how he and his brother can team up to build the perfect city together. Ned Needs to Build is a joyous story about creativity, teamwork, and sibling bonds, and it features whimsical illustrations that reveal the joy of sharing ideas and playing with others.

That is, until the day the owners box up the books, take down the shelves and lock the doors, and the bookshop is no more. But then something wonderful happens …
