POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

This month has seen some of the best publications of the year, and the book that has won my heart and a place in my bedside table is this ‘Ukraine: Recipes and Stories from Kyiv to the Black Sea’ by @annavoloshynacooks.

I have been reading this book and really enjoying how much I am learning, so it has not yet been moved to the kitchen permanently. Nonetheless, among all the reading I couldn’t resist the recipes, and I found some that I could make without buying anything, so here is the first one: Manja.

Manja is a Roasted pepper and aubergine spread with roots in Moldovia but loved as well in Ukraine. And now loved in my home as well. I made a big batch and enjoyed it through the week with bread, pasta and a side dish with chicken.

I will keep cooking and reading from this book, a clear favourite for #forgottenrecipescookbookclub

4 tubes. 7 buses. 4 trains. 8 bookshops. And a LOT of rainnnnn.

All worth it to carry proof copies of Martha Wants a Baby back to where it began. London is where the strings of this idea first came together, and it's where the book is set: Covent Garden to Chatsworth Road, Chelsea to the Southbank.

I loved getting to meet:

Seven Curious Ants by JooHee Yoon

🐜 QOTD – Where would your perfect home be?

🐜 Let’s face it, anthills are busy places. So when the 200,501st ant is born in their crowded home, seven curious ants decide it’s time to move on. They set off, following the sun and climbing the tree next to their anthill. On their journey they come across things beyond their imaginings – a juicy apple, a house made of twigs and even a bee’s nest. At each opportunity, one of the ants decides they’ve found what they are looking for, and decide to stay put. For the remaining three ants, an interaction with a spider proves a step too far, and they head back down the tree. They might not have found their perfect place yet, but that doesn’t mean they never will…

🐜 I think ants are pretty fascinating, and this is an adventure story with a twist! It’s a lovely tale that combines themes of home, belonging and friendship. The artwork is striking, with bold, vivid colours, and I liked spotting the ants on every page! The repeating refrain allows younger readers to join in with the story, and the ending is sweet, if slightly unexpected.

Great for:

✅ An adventure story with a twist
✅ Bold and vibrant illustrations
✅ Anyone with an interest in ants!

✎ It’s autumn for a while and we are fully embracing it with these game and activities! You can definitely tell they’re having fun! ೃ࿔*:･

💬Which of these do you think your child(ren) would enjoy?

🍂It’s autumn and with the autumn we like to welcome the walks in the nature that my kids love. In some of the rainy days we also like to keep ourselves busy and happy in the warmth of our home, and today, apart going to the lovely birthday party of one of my kids’ best friends, we stayed mostly at home, playing games together and doing some arts and crafts. @petitcollage has some of the best games and activities for all year round and this year, these were the ones we chose to fully celebrate and welcome autumn. 🍂 I hope you like these, and let me know if you end up getting them for your kids! 🙂

1. 🦔 Hurry Home, Hedgehogs! - A Prickly Racing Game

🍂This is a beautiful, engaging game with a warm autumn vibe, that is aimed for children aged 4+ and can be played by 4 players. The aim of the game is to roll the die and hurry your hedgehogs along the winding path. Problem is, other players may block your way and there may be obstacles. The first player to get their 3 hedgehogs home wins the game.

🍂It comes with 12 wooden hedgehog counters, a game board a wooden die and instructions. The instructions explain all the rules - there are a few peculiarities worth checking before playing, but if you find these may make it too hard for your children to fully understand all the rules (if they’re younger for example), I’d recommend you to simplify the rules and ignore the trickiest ones. My kids loved playing it and we now keep it in the living room, so we can all play it together. Love it!

🟠 🎈𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗟𝗟𝗔 & 𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗢𝗟𝗗 🪏☂️{Ad:Pr} With the nights drawing in I’m ready for cosy stories. With its short chapters, dyslexia friendly font and colour illustrations, this heartwarming collection of tales is perfect for readers moving on from picture books.

🎈Stella and Marigold are sisters who live in a half house. Readers are invited into their lives to witness a sibling relationship that feels warm and full of the playful imagination of an innocent childhood before the digital age. When the duo find some writing on a wall of their home, they imagine the children who have lived in their house before them. It’s the beginning of ten interconnected chapters filled with all the ordinary moments that build to make the fabric of cherished memories.

🪏What’s brilliant in the writing is how Annie Barrows @anniebarrowsauthor captures Stella and Marigold’s relationship. It’s like opening up the window into their shared sisterhood and hearing and seeing all their secrets. Barrows observes all the little things siblings do and how the dynamics of an older and younger sister work. Sophie Blackall’s @sophieblackall artwork complements the stories showing the emotions of Stella and Marigold perfectly. Do have a peek at the pages inside so you can see what the stories are like.

☂️ If you’ve not come across this series before you’re in for a treat as this is book 3 so you can enjoy catching up!

🗣️ Let me know in the comments if you know someone who’d love this series!

✨ Seven Curious Ants ✨

@abramschronicle

Seven Curious Ants follows seven adventurous ants as they explore the world around them, encouraging your little ones to look closely and be curious about the natural world themselves.

The illustrations are what immediately caught my eye — bright, bold and wonderfully detailed, with so much going on across every page. I love how the ants are brought to life alongside all the plants, flowers and tiny creatures they encounter and all the different layers of a tree they explore!

It’s a lovely book for encouraging children to observe, ask questions and appreciate the tiny details in nature. There’s plenty to spot in the illustrations too, making it a great one to read together and chat about as you go. A true adventure story with big themes of friendship and home.

A gorgeous addition to a nature-loving little reader’s bookshelf, and definitely a book that invites you to slow down and explore the pages. We were also lucky enough to be sent a gorgeous ant plushie from @abramschronicle and he has made himself a very cosy new home in my son’s bed 🥰

Huge thanks to @abramschronicle for sending us this lovely book 🐜
