Win Baxter's View by Murphy's Sketches bookclub sets

For Children

From top Instagram illustrator, Murphy’s Sketches, comes a heartwarming picture book about slowing down and noticing the wonderful things around us.

“Rory is Baxter’s big brother. Baxter likes to bounce, and hum, and flap. Sometimes it can take a while to get to wherever they’re going. Sometimes this makes Rory cross.”

Baxter and Rory see the world differently. Rory often wants to race ahead, while Baxter likes to stop and experience the world around him.

Join Baxter and Rory as they journey to the playground with Mum, and Rory learns to see things from Baxter’s view. With heartfelt storytelling and stunning illustrations by Murphy’s Sketches, this book shows that if you slow down, you will see some wonderful things . . .

If you fancy winning one of 10 copies of Baxter’s View for your school or library, please email uclanpublishing@uclan.ac.uk with the subject header ‘Reading Agency – Baxter’s View’.

The deadline is 15 October.

The books will be delivered to you by the end of October
