Me Book: An Art Activity Book

What flavour ice cream would you be? How many star jumps can you do in one minute? Who are the people you love most in the world, and what does your face look like when you draw it yourself? Marion Deuchars has packed 64 pages with the kind of prompts that make children stop, think, laugh and then reach immediately for a felt tip, covering everything from eye colour and family portraits to favourite foods, dream outfits and questions that have no wrong answer whatsoever. It is part activity book, part self-portrait, part tiny autobiography, and children who fill it in will have made something genuinely worth keeping.

We love it because:

• Marion Deuchars is one of the best in the business at making creativity feel completely accessible and joyful
• The range of prompts is brilliant, from simple facts to questions that spark real imagination
• It builds confidence gently and naturally, through making rather than being told
• The finished book becomes a keepsake, a snapshot of exactly who your child was right now
• Equally brilliant for quiet independent time and for doing together
