Sandra lives in Amsterdam and I had the pleasure to meet her a couple of times back when we still lived there. She runs sweet boutique polpettine and has 2 daughters.

Lets see their 5 books:

1. ABC 3d, by Marion Bataille

This pop-up book is an extraordinary work of art. Letters of the alphabet are cleverly constructed in 3D, and seem to come to life as you turn the pages. The alphabet has never looked so good!

2. Follow the Line Through the House, by Laura Ljungkvist

Follow the line through the rooms of a house to uncover all sorts of objects and hidden surprises. So much to explore and discover, inside cupboards and various rooms. I just love the retro-style illustrations; my girls constantly come up with games to play within the pages of this engaging book.

3. An Awesome Book of Thanks, by Dallas Clayton

This book is a wonderful reminder to be thankful for all that we have and be appreciative and enjoy the simple things in life. A feel-good book with an important message.

4. Kiki & Coco in Paris, by Nina Gruener (Author), Stephanie Rausser (Photographer), Jess Brown (Contributor)

A delightful story of a girl and her doll, and their whimsical adventures on a trip to Paris. Illustrated with the most stunning photography, this is a book that my girls and I simply adore!!

5. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, by Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl’s children’s classic; my very favorite childhood book. The adventures of five children that are lucky enough to visit an amazing chocolate factory, and all the whacky, imaginative happenings that take place within it’s magical walls. A must read.
