Breakfast by Joy Cowley with illustrations by Amy Lam. Another gem from a master storyteller.



 This delightful rhyming tale from Joy Cowley tells the universal story of chaos at family breakfast time. 
Joy Cowley employs the point-of-view of the crockery and cutlery to both tell a charming tale and give a gentle hint on the importance of table manners. 
 “Hurry, hurry, hurry!” said the cup to the plate. “It’s breakfast time and we’re all  late.”

The story is an utter delight and will be a pleasure to read, for both children and parents.The kids are going to love it and I see it becoming another classic from Joy Cowley.

AUTHOR: JOY COWLEY
Dame Joy Cowley (left,photo Adam Dudding) has been writing for children for more than 50 years. She is one of New Zealand’s most prolific and successful authors, having written more than 600 books. 
One of Joy’s great pleasures in life is her continuous contact with children. “The day I’m no longer in touch with young people, is the day I stop writing for them, because the energy flows from them and goes back to them,” she says. 
Today, she continues to receive hundreds of letters from children each month. I'm not surprised when she keeps turning out treasures like this.
 Joy has travelled the world, visiting schools and running writing workshops for budding authors for many years. Joy’s books have sold millions of copies worldwide, in both the trade and education markets, and she continues to produce  great deal of new material each year. She is a wizard !

ILLUSTRATOR: AMY LAM
Amy Lam is a talented young illustrator and designer. Amy has designed hundreds of books for children, many of which she has also illustrated.
She brings a fresh, vibrant approach to stories for young children, and her collaboration with Joy on this book shows simply stunning results.
