Bertram Likes to Sew
The youngest fo the family, Bertram doesn’t like swimming like other water voles, but he does love to sew and repair his family’s clothes. A gentle story about being true to yourself and following your passions. Included ecological notes and instructions to make your very own teddy bear.
'I wish I had someone to read this to me when I was small as it would have made sense and make me feel great. A really delightful read.'
- Mister Finch
'How I would have adored this book and all your work when I was little kid. It’s like a cross between the flower fairies books and tales of the river bank.
Not only charming and heartwarming but full of the compelling fascination of the tiny; minute tea cups and a world where blackberries are as big as your head.
I only wish these had been around when I was 6.'
Nicola Davies
'It’s so gentle, kind, deep, profound in such a light and accessible way. I think we all know as writers that the sparest of words are the hardest to find….but you have done it so beautifully.
I especially love the bit about learning how to ask questions…made me smile.
I think lots of littl’uns will find comfort knowing that you don’t have to like what everyone else is doing.
I want to shrink and live in Bertram’s world.’
Gill Lewis
'Totally charming, thoughtful story’

"I really love this quirky, gorgeous book. Gentle-but-firm story about determinedly being yourself. So beautiful you'll want to climb into the pages, and has a craft activity and natural history, too." Mimi Thebo
