Little Passenger

Little Passenger. I have made space for you inside my heart. It will always be a little bigger than you are.

To give you room to grow. Little Passenger is a stunning love letter to mothers and babies – with a bookplate for personalization, this is an ideal keepsake and go-to baby shower, naming ceremony or christening gift for any expectant mother and sure to be a natural classic. Mother and baby are growing together and getting ready to greet the world.

Through simple, deeply moving words and truly stunning illustrations, we share an intimate journey through pregnancy and watch a baby develop from a little pea to pumpkin-sized to … a baby, in their mother’s arms. This picture book journey encapsulates all the vulnerability, hope and tenderness of a new pregnancy and the deeply felt connection between a mother and her unborn child.

It also includes a sensitively worded dedication to all the little passengers who never made it, acknowledging that many pregnancy journeys are not always straightforward. The debut picture book from Deirdre Sullivan is perfectly matched with Jessica Love, the illustrator of Julian Is a Mermaid, who illustrates this language of movement and light and love, using colour and space like never seen before on a picture book page.
