The most beautiful Book

I ordered 1 of these books for my 9 month old grandson, I ended up giving as a present. I have now ordered the whole set for my grandson. When I received it and looked through it, the detail in the pictures are so beautiful, they’re personal and very Australian. I first heard of Bridget from the “Buy for the Bush” family, it just made it that extra special, my money is going to a small business. A win for everyone. Thankyou.
