This is Sadie and this is her story.
She might be around 4 years old and she always has so much to do.
This little book is a gem: talking directly to the reader, the author lets us take a peek into an 'ordinary' day of beautiful open-ended play, from the moment Sadie wakes up until bedtime.
Julie Morstad does her magic, as usual, drawing little girls like no one else, surrounded by a whole set of familiar items and situations.
Dresses to choose from, sleeping parents in the morning, dreams of living in the wild, a little house in the living room… children will love all the details hidden in the illustrations, pointing at them with excitement.
and now excuse me but I have a house to build in the living room :)
