The Tear Thief Written by Carol Ann Duffy and illustrated by Nicoletta Ceccoli

Written by Carol Ann Duffy and illustrated by Nicoletta Ceccoli, ‘The Tear Thief’ was published a few years ago.

Each night, between supper and bedtime, the Tear Thief carries her waterproof, silvery sack – and steals the tears of every child who cries.   But what does she do with all of those tears ?  And why is she invisible ?  It’s a poignant and beautifully illustrated story.  A great story to sit down and read together.
