The Fashion Fix
By Lexi Rees and EveyJoan
What a fabulous book this is - full of fascinating facts to make us think, marvellous solutions and jam packed with creativity.
The Fashion Fox encourages the reader to take a good hard look at the fashion we own and buy. Thinking about ways we can change our habits to be more sustainable but also dispelling some myths that we have been sold as environmentally friendly truths.
The author has explained concepts clearly using language that is accessible to children and the fun illustrations and patterns add to the engagement.
Plenty of space for interaction and designing add to the learning through fun and creativity.
This book would make a perfect gift for any fashion or eco conscious young person (for that matter as an older person I thoroughly enjoyed it and learnt a lot).
Definitely a book to be putting on the Christmas shopping list.
We were gifted a copy for the book tour.
