Ivy Loves To Give

Ivy Loves To Give by Freya Blackwood is a tender, funny picture book about generosity, sharing, and what it means to try your best—even when things don’t quite work out. With warm illustrations and a gentle sense of humour, it invites young readers to notice kindness in the everyday.

Ivy adores giving gifts, and she gives with her whole heart. The only problem is her presents can be a little… mismatched: a cup of tea for the chook, a flip-flop for a snail, a dummy for the cat. As Ivy offers one quirky gift after another, children will delight in the silliness while also recognising the big feelings that come with making mistakes and wanting to get it right.

Perfect for toddlers and preschoolers, this Australian picture book is a lovely read-aloud for families, classrooms, and anyone wanting a conversation starter about empathy and thoughtfulness.

Add it to your shelf for a story that celebrates kind intentions.
