A funny and adorable celebration of family that reveals what babies are REALLY like.

From the winner of the Macmillan Prize for Illustration 2017, The Truth About Babies is a new baby book with a difference. Are babies really beautiful, sweet-smelling, adorable little angels? Or is the truth a LOT messier?

A warm and very funny picture book story with joyous and characterful artwork from the hugely talented Elina Ellis, that perfectly captures the joyous chaos that comes with a new baby.

From the winner of the Macmillan Prize for Illustration 2017, The Truth About Old People is an instant favourite with children and grown-ups that tackles ageism without being preachy. Elina has a great talent for characterful illustration: you’ll feel like you’ve known this family all your life.
