Nicola Davies is an award-winning author, whose many books for children include A First Book of Nature, Ice Bear, Big Blue Whale and the Silver Street Farm series. She graduated in zoology, studied whales and bats then worked in the BBC Nature History Unit. Underlying all Nicola's writing is the belief that a relationship with nature is essential to every human being, and that now, more than ever, we need to renew that relationship.

Perfect is a story of disappointment, acceptance and love. Written by award-winning children's author Nicola Davies, it tells the story of a young boy who learns to accept that his baby sister has a disability but that she is still perfect in every way. The story, written from the perspective of the young boy, is suffused with natural imagery and is an ideal tool for opening up the subject of disability with children. Beautifully illustrated by Cathy Fisher, Perfect is a remarkable book guaranteed to bring a lump to the throat.
