Pea Pod Lullaby
Pea Pod Lullaby
A heartfelt picture book about being there for one another.
“I am the small green pea, you are the tender pod, hold me...”
A mother and baby, a boy and a dog run for their lives. A polar bear, too, has come adrift. When will they find land? Who will welcome them in? In all the wide world we each need a safe place to call home. Words sing over the pictures in this evocative story: a beautiful lullaby about what we can be for each other.
A unique collaboration between Carnegie-shortlisted author Glenda Millard and renowned Australian artist Stephen Michael King, this picture book was created interactively over a period of weeks in an art gallery in Australia. A perfect early years choice to open discussion in Refugee Week and encourage empathy.
