I’m Natalia Bragaru, and this is my little corner of the internet devoted to the wonder of children’s picture books — a place to share reviews, analyses, and the discoveries I’ve made across years of collecting and reading. I’m lucky to share this love of books with my partner Ricky, whose writing and editing skills bring polish and clarity to so much of what’s published here, with his contributions woven through these pages. Whether you’re an educator, parent, collector, or fellow picture book enthusiast, I’m so glad you’ve stopped by.
The best way to navigate the blog is through the menu categories across the top of the page, or the featured tags and search bar on the right-hand side. You can read about the philosophy behind the site in the mission statement, or learn more about my background and passion for children’s books on the about me page. My collection of original illustration artworks will be digitised and uploaded to a virtual gallery on this site soon.
Thanks for stepping by,
Natalia Bragaru
