Aunties Bangles

This book is on special offer to schools involved in the in-person school visit on Tuesday 12th May. The special offer ends on Sunday 10th May.
Each book ordered will be signed by the author and given to your child on the day.

A heartfelt story about love, loss and the joy a person leaves behind, written by multi-prize winning poet Dean Atta and illustrated by the award-winning Alea Marley. Auntie’s bangles used to jingle-jangle as she laughed, read and made delicious dishes, and especially as she danced. But everyone is so sad since Auntie died.

It feels . . . quiet. Slowly, Theo and his cousin, Rama, learn to celebrate their memories of Auntie, even after she’s gone. This gentle and sensitive exploration of grief will open up important conversations and help little ones find their own way to remember and celebrate someone they’ve lost.

Thank you to all parents who order these books from us. This ensures the amazing initiative remains free to school’s. Books ordered via Our Bookshop will be signed on the day of the event and given to your child.
