‘Wrapping Things’ is a very charming story about the arrival of a new baby in the family, written for small children aged 2-6 by well-known NZ author, Linda Burgess and illustrated by award-winning Hilary Jean Tapper.

In this story of cosy and chaotic family life, the imaginative world of a little child is front and centre.

Rosie likes to wrap things up: her crayons, her toys, her kitten, a parcel for Granny, some baking, flowers.

Rosie herself is wrapped up in a towel after her bath; her mother wraps up warm when she goes out in the cold, dark night; and Granny wraps Rosie up in her bed when she’s too upset to sleep by herself.

And finally a brand new baby is all wrapped up in a cuddly blanket.
