Jack's Jumper PB - Sara Acton

This book is beautifully gentle and evocative story captures the joyful brotherly connection, even when there is a rather large age gap. The cheekiness of cats, and the creativity of people to come up with solutions that will make something new and just as magical, that will reinforce the brotherly connection that Jack and Patrick have. This delightful book captured my imagination and is one of those comforting reads that reassures us that there is often a solution when things don’t go our way, or when they break. It’s a touching story that can help settle anxiety in people of all ages – it made me feel calmer about things whilst reading it. It is also a great book to help build reading confidence in early readers, or to read as a family. It makes it perfect for all ages, and has the feeling of a future classic. The words and illustrations work perfectly together, and come to life, dancing off the page.
