I'm Ready for Christmas



The I’m Ready books celebrate the exciting milestones and events in your child's life.

I’m getting ready for my favourite day of the year . . .

This delightful story captures the magic of the festive season and summer holidays in Australia.

About the I’m Ready series:
The I’m Ready series is a collection of fun, bright board books about exciting milestones and events in many children’s lives. These gorgeous board books are designed as handy explainers for children that parents can trust, with a look the whole family will love.

The I’m Ready series serves as a stepping stone between first concept books (numbers, alphabet, colours, animals, etc) and longer narrative picture books. They are ideal for children ages 3 to 4.

The series is illustrated by Jedda Robaard, a beloved Australian author and illustrator. These gorgeous books will win over parents and children alike with Jedda’s adorable illustrations, full of familiar Australian scenes, animals and flora. The books are about key experiences in a child’s life, whether it’s feeling anxious about starting preschool or getting ready to celebrate with family.

These fun, relatable books help explain the world to our little readers familiarising them with new situations or explaining traditions. The simplicity of the sentences and eye catching illustrations make them accessible and highly appealing.

Better Reading

I love the idea behind this series which is to bridge the gap between early concept books (ABC, numbers etc) and standard picture books. What is even more attractive is the truly Australian flavour throughout . . . Just delightful!
