Illustrated by Freya Blackwood

*CBCA Book of the Year: Early Childhood, 2016

On a perfect day, the hours stretch endlessly ahead. Scribbling with chalk, running with kites, digging for shells ... paddling, climbing, dreaming. Hour unfolds upon hour, with reassuring comfort and sleep beckoning at the end.

CBCA shortlisted author, Danny Parker captures the simplicity, spontaneity and freedom of an idyllic childhood. Kate Greenaway and multiple CBCA winner Freya Blackwood’s paintings of three children roaming a rolling beachside idyll capture the light—and even the smell and feel—of a perfect summer day.

Perfect is balm for the soul.

Condition: Brand new condition
Format: Paperback

In another life Danny Parker worked as a nurse, an actor and an undertaker before settling into work as a drama teacher.

Their second collaboration, Parachute, was shortlisted for CBCA’s 2014 Picture Book of the Year award.

Freya Blackwood was born in Edinburgh and grew up in Australia, where she now lives with her daughter Ivy. She began illustrating picture books in 2002 and has since been shortlisted for, and won many prestigious awards, including the Kate Greenaway Medal in 2010 for Harry and Hopper.
