The Sainsbury's Children's Book Awards winner for 2020, "Mabel May," is now available in a board book edition! Despite her small size, Mabel has big plans. She dreams of climbing a mountain, hosting a dinner party, and making friends with a shark. However, her friends are not very supportive, and they discourage her from pursuing her dreams. But Mabel knows that she shouldn't listen to those who say she can't. Instead, she should listen to those who believe in her and encourage her to keep going.

Despite the mountain being very high and Mabel being very small, she doesn't give up. Instead, she continues to climb, determined to reach her goal. It might have been easier for her to fly up a tree, but Mabel knows that she needs to keep going and climb.

Mabel is an excellent example for readers of all ages to show that there is nothing more important than the power of confidence and believing in yourself. Other picture books by Kim Hillyard include "Ned and the Great Garden Hamster Race," "Gretel the Wonder Mammoth," and "Flora and Nora Hunt for Treasure." These books also teach valuable lessons about kindness, overcoming anxiety, and the power of friendship.
