First-time author Michelle Wanasundera, of Springwood, has created Bubbles and Puddles, inspired by the Mountains and introducing children to her poetry with illustrations by artist Thana-one Yazawa.
Wanasundera has studied psychology, philosophy and children’s meditation. These skills infuse her writing, with insight into how a child’s mind works and an endless appreciation of the calming wonders of the natural world.
Published in glorious hardback, Bubbles and Puddles makes a statement with its visually pleasing balance of rich colour illustrations and white text backgrounds for its blocks of poetry.
The publication’s design is striking and is one of those books to retain as a keepsake, to dip in and out of at leisure.
This dreamy verse collection is grounded in an understanding of child psychology and deals beautifully with issues like childhood anxiety processing big emotions, as well as an appreciation for giving to others.
