New picture book for Mandy Foot

December 19, 2018

Congrats to Mandy Foot on her beautiful illustrations for

Hush Say the Stars

Written by Margaret Spurling

Published by Little Book Press, in hardback

For ages 1 - 5.

As night closes in, the farm settles down. All the animals know that now is the time to snuggle into their warm beds.
A perfect blend of text and illustrations to induce peace and stillness in both reader and child.

A beautiful partnership between Margaret Spurling and Mandy Foot, Hush Say the Stars has been selected for the Little Book Club reading packs and will be gifted to every baby born in SA in 2019.

What a wonderful gift - congrats again Mandy!
