So Loved Series

Rachel Weston is the creative visionary behind the So Loved series. An award-winning author in New Zealand and Australia, her best-selling titles include non-fiction books, Kiwi Bees Have Tiny Knees: Native Bees of Aotearoa New Zealand, Bumblebees Have Smelly Feet, and picture books, Bumblebee, Messy-o-saurus, Hello!

At the heart of Rachel's writing is the joy of Storytime! She treasures the memories of many wonderful hours spent reading stories with her children throughout their childhood. Rachel hopes her stories encourage families to spend more time reading together, enjoying the closeness and magic that Storytime brings. To stop all you are doing and give your full attention to a child and read to them, is soothing, comforting, and sharing your love. At the heart of her So Loved series is the desire for every child to know they are loved - so loved!

Welcome!

There’s something special about the feel of a picture book in your hands. The cover beckons you to read it, and little fingers want to explore it. With a child on your lap and maybe one or more cuddled up beside you, touching, turning, talking, you’re all wonderfully caught up in the story together. You can’t be busy with something else when you’re reading. Those treasured, loving moments of undivided attention with children, the closeness and togetherness, can’t be beat! 

Happy Storytime!
