Shortlisted Picture Book Of The Year: Belle & Boo And The Birthday Surprise

There's more than a hint of Christopher Robin charm about Belle and Boo, the delightful creations of Mandy Sutcliffe of the cutest little girl with an auburn bob, Belle, and her pet rabbit, Boo. This sweet tale tells of a birthday surprise with cupcakes, balloons, bunting and treehouses – with a little mild misadventure thrown in as Boo gets wafted into the sky by a big red balloon. Having creating a charming Belle & Boo world, where their images adorn everything from classic prints and paperware to clothes and toys, it is the dreamy illustrations that are the real stars of the show here.
