Hello, little bookworms! 📚💖

In today’s episode of the Little Bookworm Podcast, we’re reading “The First Year” a stunning children’s book about the magic of a baby’s first year, written by Emilie Tunstill and illustrated by Elle Dawson-Scott. This book is a beautiful keepsake, with a touching story about the adventures a mama and bub have together in the first year – the highs, lows and everything in between. Following their journey from birth to first birthday, it highlights the special bond between a mother and her new baby.

Key Themes:

🌻 For mums: You’re a super mum, no matter the challenges.

🌻 For babies: The bond between you and your mum is pure and magical.

🌻 Celebrate those precious moments and milestones.

✍️ About the Author

Hello! I’m Emilie Tunstill, a mama-of-two and author from Adelaide, South Australia. I’ve always had a passion for writing. But there’s nothing quite like having two young children to bring out your inner child, creativity and imagination. So, in 2023 I took my first steps in pursuit of my dream to become a published author. And now, that dream has become a reality, with my debut picture book – The First Year – released in August 2024.

🎨 About the Illustrator

It was an absolute pleasure collaborating with fellow Adelaide mama and artist Elle Dawson-Scott, who brought my carefully chosen words to life with the most beautiful illustrations. Elle is a mama, step-mother, pun-enthusiast, op-shop addict, artist, illustrator, and photographer from South Australia. She is a multi-talented artist, who does everything from portraits and freelance illustration work, to running art workshops for corporate and private events, to painting giant murals around the city.

Elle and I worked incredibly closely on developing the illustrations and it was one of the highlights of my publishing journey – I had fairly strong ideas before we started of what I wanted on each page, and gave her a pretty detailed brief for every image, and then somehow she captured all I wanted, as well as bringing in her own ideas and perspectives, that made it 100 times better than I was imagining in the first place.
