Nikki McClure is one of my favourite children’s book illustrators. Her intricate papercut images are immediately engaging for children and her stories have gentle, nurturing themes. For May the Stars Drip Down (Abrams, RRP £10.99), she has teamed up with songwriter Jeremy Chatelain to create a lullaby about a parent’s wishes for their child, and it’s rather beautiful. The perfect story to share with your little one at bedtime.
