Description

The perfect gift for anyone welcoming a new child into the family, this comforting picture book explores the idea of 'home', through nature's lens.

A Home is a Nest is a beautiful gift book, exploring the concept of 'homes' and 'family' in nature, from the cosiness of winter dens, to the arrival of spring and bird's first flight. Drawing parallels between the way animals care for their babies to how humans look after their own, this stunning book is made for snuggling and sharing, with a gentle narrative that's perfect to read aloud at bedtime.

This is the perfect gift for those entering the precious early days of parenthood, by award-winning artist and Waterstone's Prize shortlister, Emma Carlisle.
