A thoughtful, heartfelt celebration of parental love - perfect for sharing with little loved ones.

There's a baby, peekaboo!

when you were tiny, soft and new,

your little hand in mine?

As well as exploring everything we use our hands for, this reassuring rhyming story with gorgeous illustrations, celebrates the simple act of holding hands as an expression of security and love. A beautiful story, perfect for parent and child to share.
