Why I Love Summer Board Book

Product:  Why I Love Summer Board Book

There are four seasons in a year, and they’re all awesome, but only one of them gets to be summer!

Sunny days, weekends at the pool, games in the backyard, daylight until late and long, lovely holidays . . . that's summer, the best season ever.

The perfect follow up to the much-loved Why I Love Footy (Notables list, Picture Book of the Year category, CBCA 2016). An ode to a uniquely Australian experience and the joy of family and friends.
