I am so pleased to be welcoming Sue Wickstead back to Novel Kicks and the blog tour for her latest book, The Sparkly Waistcoat. 

In this delightfully illustrated picture book, Nanny tells Alexander the story of her waistcoat. A waistcoat so sparkly that all the children in her class love it.

But then, one day…

…it’s not there!

Where is it? Nanny looks everywhere. The children look everywhere. They even put up ‘LOST’ posters in the local shops. But will they ever find it?

“The perfect book for a cosy night in with mum or dad. Highly recommended.” The Wishing Shelf.
