Take a look at previous What We’re Reading blogs for more reading inspiration.Don’t Worry, Little Crab by Chris HaughtonAll Chris Haughton’s delightful picture books for young children open with a quotation, which the story then evinces. His latest, surprisingly, quotes Anaïs Nin: ‘Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage’, and it follows Little Crab as they venture out of their rock pool and into the sea for the first time, encouraged by their buddy/caregiver/mentor, Very Big Crab. Haughton uses bold, Matisse-y slabs of colour – each page looks like a sugar-paper collage – and, as ever, he’s brilliant at suggesting nuanced emotions with tiny flourishes. Little Crab’s claws are somehow angled just the right way to convey equivocation at the edge of the shore. It’s the most visually sumptuous of all Haughton’s books so far; the underwater scenes use a palette of autumnal oranges, pinks and yellows, which seem uncannily luminous against the dark blue and turquoise background. Spoiler alert: Little Crab overcomes their fear, and eventually loves the sea so much they don’t want to leave. My three year-old and I both enjoyed it very much.Jim Hinks, Senior Programme Manager What Girls Do In The Dark by Rosie GarlandI’ve been waiting patiently for another poetry collection from Rosie Garland and let me just say that this collection meets and exceeds all expectations.
