Celebrate the simple enjoyable things in life with "What I Like Most" by Mary Murphy and Zhu Cheng-Liang.
The little girl in the story wants to share all her favourite things with us, from her light-up shoes, to hot, steamy chips, to her red pencil.
But the girl knows that, even as her feet grow, her plate empties, and her pencil shortens, there's something she will always love - or someone. Her wonderful mum. As the story unfolds and it's soon revealed the little girl is to become an older sister to a new baby, the love between mother and child is unwavering and doesn't change, even though their lives will once the new baby arrives.
This is a poignant, thought provoking and interesting book that's setting itself up early for being a perfect mother's day present, written in a lilting singsong style with truly gorgeous illustrations.
Sum this book up in a sentence: A really lovely little read-aloud book written from a child's perspective and describing all the things they love about their life, and the very special person they feel the strongest bond with - their mum.
