Zeki Goes to the Park

It’s a sunny day, so Zeki and Mummy are off to the park for a play date with Yu and her mummy. When they get to the park, Zeki and Yu ride play horses, splash in the cooling water and cavort in the sandpit – and there’s also a delicious picnic lunch in the shade. What a perfect day!

In this new adventure for Zeki, it’s a happy day in the park with Mummy that is the focus, reflecting the relatable and simple pleasures of everyday life for toddlers. The story is a simple and enjoyable one, perfect for reading and enjoying with 1–2-year-olds, with clear, colourful illustrations and friendly, simple language.

All the picture books in the Zeki range depict the daily activities of a black toddler and his family, beautifully illustrated by Ruth Hearson. In Zeki Goes to the Park, it’s lovely to see another diverse family represented, too, especially in a book aimed at the early years where this representation is still lacking.
