I’m so excited to share that we are stocking SHELF - a delightful bi-annual picture book magazine that is everything I’ve ever wanted in a magazine. Interviews with authors, illustrators, publishers and bookshop owners, plus pages and pages of reviews. It’s a dream for lovers of picture books!

I shared it with our email subscribers first, and issues 1,2 and 3 sold out in the first hour (there were limited copies of those). I have just 2 copies of issue 4 left - link in bio if you want one before it’s gone!

Make sure to join our mailing list so you’re the first to know when something new lands at Little Modern Reader!

SHELF is a bi-annual picture book magazine created by Helen Hancocks, an illustrator and the owner of Shelf Editions - Book Shop in the UK.
