Up to Kindergarten

A cozy, beautifully illustrated sensory book for children ages 2-5 about parent-child love with an underwater theme, featuring five unique touch-and-feel flaps to explore.

Touch-and-feel meets lift-the-flaps in this sweet, cozy book with an underwater theme, which contains five different fabric flaps for little hands to discover. Young readers will meet Daddy Seahorse and Baby Seahorse as they travel past rocks, seaweed, and coral to meet a variety of marine animals in a complete sensory experience that is designed to stimulate a child's natural curiosity. This sweet, engaging book of a parent's wish for their child features rhythmic text and an adorable ocean animal to uncover under every flap.
Dee Costello is a children’s book editor and writer who grew up in London, spent a happy chunk of her life in Boston, and is now living by the big, beautiful sea in Worthing, UK. At any opportunity she will try to smell pine trees, adopt a new plant pet, surf, laugh, create arty things with her two children, and read . . . out loud!

Hannah Abbo is a self-taught, award-winning illustrator from Brighton, UK. She currently lives with her partner, child and (slightly) overweight cat in Lisbon, Portugal. When Hannah is not drawing she loves making ceramics in a local studio, visiting the botanical gardens, and rollerblading.
