Fa-Ra-Ra Boom-De-Ay! is a great fun read of a book written by mother-and-daughter author team Ann McLauchlin and Jill Law, with some stunning, colourful and absolutely gorgeous illustrations by Emily Walker-Vaughan.
The book is described as a flower girl fairytale. Farrah is a bit of a dream girl, always enjoying daydreams.
Farrah's mummy is about to get married again and Farrah is going to be her mummy's very own flower girl. This is making Farrah a little bit nervous. But she's excited to visit the boutique with her mummy for the dress fitting.
The ship is so beautiful, the dresses all look to be properly magical and Farrah, of course, decides to go for a bit of a wander and learns that Miss Singh's boutique is really a very magical and most wonderful place!
Farrah meets with many magical creatures including fairies and a unicorn that she gets to ride on through the air, taking her on a whole host of magical adventures before she returns, just in time, for the fitting. But what did Miss Singh really know about Farrah's magical adventure?
And what new magical adventure would happen later?
This book is a rhyming delight of a book and is aimed directly at moms and their daughters, especially if they are, have been, or will soon be a flower girl, aged six 'til nine. It's designed to be shared, maybe over mugs of hot chocolate, all wrapped up in dressing gowns?
It's published by Troubador at £10.00 and will make an ideal Christmas present for all little girls, even those who aren't going to be a flower girl. Well, at least not yet!
This is their debut work, hopefully we will see more from them in the near future.
