World Book Day!

We were beyond excited that The Magic Balloon was one of the official World Book Day 2025 £1 books – and it was a Woke Babies book! 🎉

Written by award-winning author Carl Anka, beautifully illustrated by Amanda Quartey, and created in collaboration with DK & Woke Babies, this magical adventure took young readers on a journey through the skies, soaring over cities, under rainbows, and even into space.
