Join Nicci at Happy Reading Children's Bookshop for a cosy Book Club as we discover Little Acorn by award-winning creator Adam Stower!

Perfect for children aged 3–6, we'll enjoy an interactive storytime together before taking part in a fun, book-inspired creative activity celebrating friendship, courage and the wonders of the natural world.

Full of warmth, humour and beautiful illustrations, Little Acorn is a reassuring story about embracing new adventures and discovering that sometimes the most wonderful things happen when we step outside our comfort zone.

ABOUT LITTLE ACORN

High in the treetops, Little Acorn is perfectly happy... until one unexpected tumble changes everything.

Suddenly finding himself on the forest floor, Little Acorn longs to return home. But with the help of some kind new friends—and a little courage—he begins to discover that new adventures can be just as exciting as familiar places.

Beautifully written and illustrated by Adam Stower, this charming picture book celebrates friendship, resilience and learning to embrace change with confidence and curiosity.

Perfect for children preparing for new experiences, big or small.
