Description

Special Delivery: A Book’s Journey Around the World follows the fascinating path of a single book as it travels from a factory to a child’s hands. Polly Faber and illustrator Klas Fahlén bring every stage to life with vibrant illustrations and engaging storytelling.

The story begins in a printing press, where skilled workers assemble the book. From there, it moves by truck, train, and ship across continents. Along the way, readers meet factory staff, train drivers, container-ship captains, post office workers, and booksellers. Each person plays a crucial role in delivering the “perfect gift.”

Young readers will also enjoy the non-fiction pages at the end. These sections explore real-world facts about manufacturing, logistics, global trade, and delivery systems. The book turns learning into an adventure, showing how everyday items reach people worldwide.

Parents and teachers can use it as a gift or a classroom resource to spark curiosity about travel, transportation, and the world of books.
