Julia Donaldson celebrates her readers in this delightful and imaginative picture book, inspired by the children she has met at hundreds of book signings over the years.
I've signed for boys called Romeo
and girls called Juliet .
I've signed for Roman, Saxon, Dane-
Though not for Norman yet.
From months of the year, colours, flowers, food and gemstones, Julia has seamlessly grouped together a charming selection of children's names and woven them together in her unmistakable rhyming style.
Set in a magical transforming bookshop, Julia Donaldson's Book of Names is a love letter to the world of books and young bookworms – illustrated by the award-winning Nila Aye.
Readers will enjoy trying to find their own name, and even if it isn't included, there is a special dedicated space for them to add it, or even better, for Julia to sign!

►About the Authors: Julia Donaldson is the author of some of the world's best-loved children's books, including modern classics The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo's Child, which together have sold over 17 million copies worldwide, and the hugely successful What the Ladybird Heard adventures. Julia also writes fiction, including the Princess Mirror-Belle books illustrated by Lydia Monks, as well as poems, plays and songs – and her brilliant live shows are always in demand.

Nila Aye graduated from Central St Martins with a sell-out show in 1995, and has been a firm favourite of the London illustration scene ever since. Nila is influenced by mid-century design and children’s books from this era: she describes her work as “Retro modern with a cute twist, and a touch of humour”. Full of brightness, fun and irresistible charm, Nila's illustrations are loved by children and adults alike, and they have won her admiration from publishers around the globe.
