{"product_id":"9781529516982","title":"This Is a Story : A celebration of the joy of reading and the magic of the perfect story from one of America's most beloved teacher-librarians and an award-winning illustrator by Lauren Castillo","description":"Children's literacy advocate John Schu and Caldecott Honor recipient Lauren Castillo celebrate the power of finding the perfect book.   This is a word on a page. This is a page in a book. This is a book on a shelf ... waiting.   With a seahorse kite in their hand, a child heads out with Dad to the library. On the way they stop at a park, joining lots of people, some of whom are flying kites, too. At the library, a person toting a big pile of books hands over a story on a favourite subject: the seahorse. All around, there are readers poring over books, each with their own questions, ideas to explore, hopes for the future ... and imaginations ready to spark.   With a warm, lyrical text and expressive illustrations, John Schu and Lauren Castillo invite us to imagine the myriad of ways that books can foster connection and understanding - and how they can empower children to transform the world.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56303212724597,"sku":"9781529516982","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781529516982.jpg?v=1762793929","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781529516982","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
