Up to Kindergarten

An exciting novelty book of love, featuring gender-neutral pronouns throughout, that reveals moving ribbons with each turn of the page--as if by magic.

This cleverly designed board book of the love between parent and child, which features gender-neutral pronouns throughout, reveals a colorful strand of ribbon with each turn of the page, gradually building to become different things: a hot-air balloon, an ice-cream sundae, and even a giant flowerpot filled with beautiful flowers. Children can watch in wonder as the ribbons slowly combine to create a giant heart at the end. With a parent and child pairing and warm, emotional text, this is the perfect book to share that can be read by anyone, to anyone.
Molly Littleboy lives in a tiny apartment in London with more plants than she really has space for. She is lucky enough to have her dream job in children’s publishing, where she gets to edit, write, and spend time finding words that rhyme. Her favorite things are lazy Sundays, detective stories, and petting other people’s dogs.

Ag Jatkowska grew up loving picture books and dreamed that one day she would become an illustrator. She graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk with an MA in Graphic Design and Illustration. With a passion for creating whimsical scenes full of cute animals, soft colors, and textures Ag has illustrated a broad range of children’s books and greeting cards.
