World of Sport

Lawrence Alexander (Author) Lawrence Alexander is a freelance journalist and author, writing, over the past 20-odd years, hundreds of articles; for all the broadsheets and over 60 magazines and journals. Their non-fiction books for children explore the world in different ways, from food to sports, mythology, myths and culture.Violeta Noy (Illustrator) Violeta is an illustrator from Barcelona who makes books, prints and websites. She studied Fine Art at Universitat de Barcelona and has an Illustration MA from Falmouth University. Her first picture book The Right One was published by Templar in 2018. Violeta collaborates with Núria Pla under the name of Tàndem. She is also scared of outer space and the deep sea.

This snazzy production works. It works because it is inclusive, not just in the choice of sports, but in the illustrative style. . .World of Sport will appeal to those who aren't 'sporty', as much as to those with active ambitions; as much to six-year-olds as to upper primary children. Highly recommended.
