Jemima’s Surprise
Debbie Brooker

I read this to my 3 year old son at bedtime and he fell asleep towards the end. I think this gives some idea of the type of book it is. The writing is lovely, and gives the slow, mindful pace of being in a garden and watching birds.
I have not come across a book quite like this. Loved it.

A review of Jemima's Surprise
My 6 year old daughter, Penelope, picked up your book 'Jemima's Surprise' at the library recently and we read it together for the first time today. We live in Mackay too, so it's the season for sunbird nests, but, I thought it was amazing how just last week we've been watching our resident sunbirds make a nest on our washing line. Then yesterday one of the eggs fell out and broke. We also have a hibiscus tree next to the washing line and I often find myself watching these beautiful birds going about their duties.
Thank you for writing such a lovely book that my children can now relate to! I'll be looking to purchase it as a reminder of our own little sunbirds 💛
