AUTHOR: Dean Atta

ILLUSTRATOR:  Alea Marley

 

Bursting with joy, colour, and heart, CONFETTI: A COLOURFUL CELEBRATION OF LOVE AND LIFE is a picture book that celebrates love in all its beautiful forms. Written by acclaimed poet Dean Atta and illustrated by Alea Marley, this uplifting story takes young readers on a journey through the everyday moments that make life extraordinary - family meals, cultural traditions, hugs from friends, and the special joy of simply being yourself.

Each page is sprinkled with positivity, showing that love is not just grand gestures but also found in the small, sparkling details of our daily lives. Marley's radiant artwork and Atta’s lyrical, rhythmic text combine to create a warm, inclusive book that children will want to return to again and again. It’s a story that affirms every child’s right to love, be loved, and to shine brightly in their own way. 

Perfect for ages 3 and up, Confetti is a heartwarming celebration of identity, belonging, and community - a reminder that, just like confetti, the world is brighter, more joyful, and more beautiful because of our differences.  A timeless picture book filled with warmth, inclusivity, and joy, Confetti invites readers to celebrate life’s most important ingredient: love.
