Who’s home for dinner? What shall we cook? What do we need to buy? And don’t forget the washing-up! Helping with real tasks is a natural progression from pretend play, and is a crucial stage in a child’s development. Achieving a shared goal encourages a sense of responsibility, and develops many skills useful in later life. Simple conversational text and lively illustrations are carefully designed to encourage further dialogue between reader and child.
About the author
Georgie BirkettIllustrator
I graduated from Brighton University in 1996, and have illustrated many books for children, I have recently started writing too. I have made books with Bloomsbury, Macmillan, Random House, Puffin, and many more. I work from a cooperative studio space ‘Studio Greenhouse’ above a shop in the Brighton Laines. I grew up in Bristol, Bath, Salisbury, and London. I now live in Lewes. I come from an artistic family who were always drawing, and developed my interest at a very early age. My grandparents ran an art club, where as well as painting with the members, my sister and I would be portrait models with the challenge of keeping still and extra challenge of not getting the giggles! When I was born my grandfather had recently retired from directing Ladybird Books. I love to travel when I can, and have recently developed a taste for the west coast of North America – beautiful scenery and laid back people, as a result my husband has gained a passion for playing the banjo and growing beards! I love to walk the surrounding countryside of Lewes and am now finally growing vegetables in my back garden!

What reviewers said
Helping Hands series “Birkett's bright, line and color illustrations focus on the child and her contributions, evoking Aliki in line and mood. The narration’s rapid fire enthusiasm is appealing.”
