Puddles Are for Jumping

Trees are for climbin’ Swings are for flying And puddles are definitely for jumping! Two little girls skip, swing, jump, climb, hop, bounce, twirl, wriggle and laugh through their day in this delightful celebration of children’s play. Kylie Dunstan’s lively, vibrant collage illustrations perfectly capture the excitement and joy of children discovering the pleasures of their everyday world, with all its adventures and fun. AUTHOR’S NOTE: ‘Puddles Are for Jumping’ tells the story of a mother and two children taking a ‘walk’ to the park and shops. Each step of the journey shows how joy can be extracted from even the simplest and most mundane of activities by looking at them from a child’s perspective. The illustrations were created by hand using cut-paper collage.
