Emma's Sunflower is a lovely story of how things we once thought lost can return to us in the most unexpected ways. From her garden, Emma sees how a family of Finches, one hungry Crow and some spilled seeds, can lead to a wonderful birthday surprise. Told with beautiful illustrations, your child will learn about the seasons, counting, nature and ultimately Hope, all told using a dyslexia-friendly font. The author is British, so don't forget to keep an eye out for those subtle differences in spelling and expressions with your kids. Will you follow Emma on this learning journey to see how slight mistakes can turn into one of nature's masterpieces?
Phillipa is the creator of Rupert's Snowman, a much loved festive tale based on a true story about the time her son refused to leave his snowman behind after a snow day.
She studied Creative Short Story Writing at the Cambridge University ICE and has an MA from The Royal College of Art.
Emma's Sunflower was inspired by her daughter after she was playfully accused of favouritism towards her son!
Ward, Grace: -Grace Ward, the illustrator of Emma's Sunflower and Rupert's Snowman is dyslexic and she chose a font called Open Dyslexic to tell her stories. The unique shape of each letter can help prevent confusion through flipping and swapping letters because they have a heavier bottom. The dyslexic reader will be able to quickly work out which part of the word is down and this aids in recognizing the correct letter.
