About this ebook
On a tiny island, off the Western coast of Africa, stands a magnificent castle . . .
The Castle of Newborns.
Timi's mummy is expecting a baby.
At bedtime, Timi asks his parents that age-old question: "Where do babies come from?" The answer is a story, a wild and wondrous adventure that involves a castle overrun with babies, a baby-hating crocodile and one brave little hero to save them all.
It's a story that celebrates family, the curiosity of children, the art of storytelling, the precious ritual of bedtime and the imaginative resourcefulness of parents in tricky moments.
Recommended for children ages 3 - 8.
