In this delightfully illustrated picture book, Nanny tells Alexander
the story of her waistcoat. A waistcoat so sparkly that all the children in her
class love it.
But then, one day…
…it’s not there!
Where is it? Nanny looks everywhere. The children look everywhere. They
even put up ‘LOST’ posters in the local shops. But will they ever find it?
Find out in this suspense-filled story for young readers.
“The perfect book for a cosy night in
with mum or dad. Highly recommended.” The Wishing Shelf
Review
The Sparkly Waistcoat by Sue Wickstead
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Adorable Christmas pageant story with beautiful artwork. It feels like the stories I read with my mom. It was warm and goodhearted. I loved the way the kids cared about the waistcoat as a symbol of their beloved teacher. I am not sure that pageants and sweetness like this still exist for kids…but I hope they do.

Author Bio –
My
name is Sue Wickstead, and I live in Crawley, West Sussex.
I write children’s picture books.
My stories are inspired by both my experience
as a teacher and my adventures in play work with a Playbus.
The Playbus was a real double-decker bus
filled with toys and arts and crafts. It brought fun to young children and gave
them a welcoming place to play. As a mobile project, it travelled to children
wherever they were.
I first wrote a photographic social history of
the project, and that led me into storytelling and writing.
When I’m not writing, I enjoy building Lego
models, especially for my grandson and granddaughter. I also love spending time
with my young grandchildren, creating stories together, and acting out our
adventures when they visit.
My grandson appears in the book ‘Barty Barton;
the bear that was loved too much’, which was published in 2020.
My grandchildren also help me create our own
rhymes, which we love to sing together.
Many of my books have been entered into and
shortlisted for ‘The Wishing Shelf Book Awards’, and ‘A Spooky Tale’ won a
silver medal in 2019. I wrote the story with my class at school.
‘The Sparkly Waistcoat’, a story about
dressing up and role-play.
