ALT Three small Curiosities sit on top of a large pig like curiosity and point to a copy of the picture book The Curiosities. A circle reveals that the book is to be published in 10 days.

Books born in Lockdown, where bookshops are closed, launches cancelled or moved, we understand that it’s been difficult for people to find your book. And, we’d like to help out in some small way. See post for details.

Thank you to @squishybooks for sharing this story. If you are in a position to help reunite this family and bring these children to Australia from Syria, please do. Without our help they can not come. We can make a real difference to real people.
