Rory's Room Of Rectangles by Ian Eagleton - Children's Book

Written by Ian Eagleton and illustrated by Jessica Knight, 'Rory's Room Of Rectangles' is an illustrated children's storybook about blended families and big feelings.

Things are changing for Rory, now that he had a dad and a stepdad! Rory has weekends with Dad in the park and makes imaginary dens with his Mum's new boyfriend Tony, so when Father's Day comes, who should he make his card for at school? This story explores Rory's conflicting feelings and how a surprise art gallery trip makes him feel less torn. A thoughtful story for children with beautiful, engaging illustrations by Jessica Knight.

Owlet Press was founded by Samuel Langley-Swain in 2018, working with authors and illustrators with a shared passion – picture books which reflect the true diversity in children’s lives. Focusing on the challenges children face today and packaging these big issues into inclusive and accessible stories for small readers to digest and discuss with friends, families and schools. This indie children’s book publisher aims to change the world one book at a time, along with the best authors and illustrators to tell these stories.

Owlet Press have always published books that are 'incidentally inclusive' from day one and look to push this further with every title. With authors and illustrators from all walks of life - diversity is the driving ethos within this publisher. Owlet believe that it is key for young readers of colour to see children like them (and for white, non-disabled children to see children that don't always look like them) in books experiencing the joy and magic of playful, imaginative stories - a belief that we share at Babipur.
