“These jars explore notions of beauty and perfection.

As in the natural world, beauty is often found where there is tension between rugged and soft, pattern and chaos, perfection and imperfection. This balance or tension is often, I find, what gives a piece presence. For me as a maker, they are a lesson in unlearning, in relinquishing control, of letting go" Adam Buick

Today's read is The New Girl by Nicola Davies,​
illustrated by Cathy Fisher. Published by Graffeg and aimed at 4-7 year olds.

This short story tells of a girl's attempts to fit in at a new school, despite not being accepted by the other children. Nicola Davies's heart-warming text about inclusion is accompanied by brilliant illustrations by Cathy Fisher.​

A child starts a new school in a strange new town. The children in her class are hostile towards her and unhappy about the stranger in their midst, refusing to talk to include her. The girl's response is to create something beautiful that transforms their attitude towards her and their vision of themselves and their own lives in this inspiring story.​
