Martha and the Bunny Brothers - I Heart School (Martha and the Bunny Brothers)

By Clara Vulliamy, Illustrated by Clara Vulliamy

Starting school has never been so fun! The first in an exuberant, feel-good new series from Clara Vulliamy. I Heart School is pure sunshine in picture book format, every page will make you smile!

The Big News in the launch title of this joy-filled new series is that it’s Martha’s first day of school! It’s all so exciting! She needs to choose the perfect first-day-at-school outfit and decide what to pack in her new school bag, which is proving quite tricky…

Trouble is, she may be able to take her snowdome and her fairy wings and her scooter, but she has to leave behind her two not-so-happy little bunny brothers…

But Martha finds room in her school bag for a very special picture that the Happy Bunny Club has made especially for her, and it’s not long before she’s back from school and Martha and her bunny brothers are reunited (in their secret den)! Hooray!

Young readers will adore helping Martha to choose what to wear and what to take to school in these sunshine-filled pages that weave together all the little details of Martha’s life, with a charming story about sibling relationships and starting school.
