of foxes and chickens

I found this beautiful little book yesterday called The Chicken Thief. It’s oh so pretty! AND it has two of my favourites: foxes and chickens. Together. Without any ghastly unhappy ending. There are no words, just beautiful illustrations by Béatrice Rodriguez.
When a fox steals a chicken from her friends, her friends set out to rescue her. They negotiate forests, climb mountains and cross the sea to get her back. But it becomes perfectly clear that chicken and fox love each other, as chicken explains most eloquently – in a book entirely without words.
I’ve always had a little bit of a soft spot for childrens books without words (1&2) They leave so much to the imagination and are different every single time you read them. If you ever see this book, take a few minutes to flick through it. I swear it will warm your heart instantly.

Say hello to Annabelle. She’s my brother and sister-in-law’s brand new little girl, born last night. I’ve been waiting (somewhat impatiently) for her arrival and I’m so excited she’s finally here!
also, i wanted to show you this:
Isn’t it beautiful? I found this very old polaroid taken of brother and my cousin when we first arrived in Australia. I love the retro curtains in the background, my brother’s suspenders and super high pants!, both of their beautiful spectacles and the way they’re holding hands.
My week has started off beautifully. I hope yours is wonderful too.
