Big Day Out (First Time)

How long will it take? What will we do? What happens if I get lost? Reading Big Day Out with your child is the perfect opportunity to talk about these questions, and many more! There's a FIRST TIME for everything! Young children's lives are full of new experiences, and these books help make these enjoyable and rewarding. The simple conversational text and lively illustrations are carefully designed to encourage further dialogue between reader and child.

Jess grew up in a large family a few miles north of London and has always loved children’s picture books, especially ones that make her laugh. She became a full-time illustrator in the 1990s and has since gone on to illustrate over 50 books for children. “The Big Red Rock” is her debut author-illustrated children’s picture book.
