The Perfect Present
By Petr Horáček
A joyful and beautiful picture book celebrating friendship and sharing.
Tom and Mot are best friends who share a birthday. Tom gives Mot a feather and Mot gives Tom a marble – and these small gifts open up worlds of brilliantly colourful imagination. From the feather comes the most wonderful bird imaginable. From a tiny marble comes a whole beautiful planet, teeming with life. Outside it's raining, but playing with your best friend in the rain is fun! They ride a dinosaur, sail the seven seas and float through the starry Universe. And at the end of their birthday, Tom and Mot discover what is the best present of all - the perfect present...
Simple and profound, this is a picture book to treasure, from a master picture book creator.
