Melbourne-based artist, illustrator and designer Beci Orpin has previously produced four beautiful craft books, Make & Do; Home: 25 Amazing Projects; Sunshine Spaces; and Find & Keep. All of her books make use of her signature bold geometric style and strong use of colour.

This time she has utilised her creative flair to fashion a brightly illustrated board book called Moving Your Body. This fun and simple idea, which is the first in a series of board books based on early learning concepts, focuses on the different movements our bodies can do, such as: ‘Smile with your mouth/ Wiggle with your bum/ Fly with your arms.’

It will engage the little ones in your life as they discover the ways our bodies function and interact. It will also inspire you to get up and move around with them in an entertaining and joyous manner! Perfect for kids aged 1+.
