# I Love Books by Mariajo Ilustrajo (Paperback)

**_Winner of the Klaus Flugge Prize for Illustration 2023_  
Shortlisted for Illustrator of the Year - British Book Awards 2025**  
  
**From the award-winning creator of _Flooded_ and _Lost_ comes a magical story about discovering a connection with books for the very first time.**  
  
This brightly illustrated adventure story is perfect for kids who claim to hate reading, as the enchanting narrative **opens their eyes to a fantasy world created by words on a page**.  
  
In this spellbinding story, we meet a little girl excited for the end of term. No more school! However, she's given the very unreasonable task of reading a whole book over the holidays. A **whole** book? But she _HATES_ books. But her sister takes her to the library - she says she has just the thing.  
  
Slowly, the little girl is drawn into a world of adventure: a little fennec fox leads her to meet fairytale witches and creatures, as they find ingredients to cast a special spell at the end of her book. At first, the little girl is dismayed to learn that this spell seemingly hasn't changed a thing . . . however, the little fox points out that she HAS transformed: **discovering the power of her imagination has changed her forever**.  
  
This charming, engaging picture book shows children how wonderful books can really be, to encourage **a lifelong love of reading**. Discover adventure on every page - and turn _I Hate Books_ into _I Love Books_!
