Jonathan and Martha
by Petr Horacek
Jonathan is a lonely worm who lives on the left side of the tree. He is unaware that Martha, another lonely worm, lives on the right side of the tree. Then one day a juicy pear falls from the tree, and life will never seem lonely again…
This beautiful book about friendship and sharing is a joy to share and read aloud. The sturdy pages are filled with colour, and there is the occasional flap to peek under. It cannot fail to delight very young children and indeed adults too!
Publisher: Phaidon

I grew up in Prague in the Czech Republic. Just outside our flat there was a wood where I spent lots of time playing with friends. We would climb on piles of soil or build bunkers from forgotten builder's materials. I always wanted to be an illustrator, but I preferred to look at the pictures inside the books rather than to read them. I would listen to the story or watch a film and then fill up my sketchbook with pictures and images from the story. I started to read books quite late, but I haven't stopped since.
