Designed for OutforOurChildren, a parenting group for lesbian feminists, this picture book is meant to be read aloud with early readers and their friends. Colourful pictures on every page show a young narrator who already knows an awful lot. Here, they go to the seaside, remember and read lots and lots of books. Until, finally sleep changes one little girl’s wish.
