It’s that special time of year again where we take the time to remember and appreciate all the wonderful things that fathers are and do! Fathers can come in all shapes and sizes so it’s important that we celebrate each and every one in the way they deserve. To help us with the celebrations, of course, we’ve compiled a list of some of our favourites to get the ball rolling!

This book ‘clamo[u]r[s] for the right to opacity’ by not simply requesting a voice and your ear, but asking that you look - to see her clearly against a plain white background. The lyrical words and beautiful images use the eyes to make each character opaque - visible - undeniable. We shouldn’t be afraid of our differences and recent events only prove that there are still things we can do.

A Look At Love offers books by various authors and illustrators so you won’t get two books too similar and you certainly won’t get bored! This is a really unique set that, rather, than focusing on a single topic or theme, it branches out into just… well, the life of a toddler! Each one presents a new opportunity to learn about and use the Chinese language as well as about everyday life! Things like saying goodnight or giving big hugs or learning to count or learning the sounds of instruments - the range is truly exciting!

I’m sure many will agree with me that mothers have a very special place in all our hearts. It’s all the amazing things that mothers can do and juggle in their lives in order to provide for us and love us so that they may enjoy and discover life alongside us - with all the highs and lows, of course. So we’ve compiled a list of books that are based on mothers and love and the like! What will you be reading this Mother’s Day?
