This image by Sarah Wilkins from A Book Is a Book represents so well that reading books is both solo and social, depending on all the people who recommend, share, buy, borrow and talk about books—and put them into our hands, of course.
In anticipation that Gecko Press readers will be putting books in the hands of children this holiday season, every year we put together a gift guide to help match a book to a child.
We all know what a difference it makes to find yourself reading just the right book at just the right moment!
For the child who loves exploring interactive books together: noises, actions, flaps to lift and secrets to discover
For the child who enjoys subversive heroes, good jokes and a twist at the end
For philosophical thinkers and creative children, who like to think, draw, laugh and imagine
For all readers who want great stories in te reo Māori
For vehicle lovers, Lego fanatics, builders and construction workers of all ages
For non-fiction readers who enjoy a mix of information, comics, unexpected humour, and a sense of the big picture
Summer stories for all
And for everyone who can’t get to sleep on Christmas Eve…
