{"product_id":"the-things-we-hold","title":"The Things We Hold","description":"A tender picture book about a young girl navigating housing insecurity — a beautiful reminder to always lead with kindness and empathy. At first glance, you wouldn't guess that Lilly holds a lot inside. Like her embarrassment when she gets teased for wearing the same clothes to school every day. And her disappointment when her teacher hands out permission slips for a field trip with a fee, which Lilly knows her mama can't afford. And the heaviest secret she holds is that she and her family don't have a home and sometimes sleep in their car. Winner of Lee \u0026amp; Low’s New Voices Award, debut author Vanessa Lewis-Porter brings her experience as an educator to share the challenges some of her students faced in school. Coupled with emotive illustrations by award-winning artist Cornelius Van Wright, THE THINGS WE HOLD is a gentle reminder to always lead with kindness and empathy because you never know what a person is holding inside.Author: Vanessa Lewis-Porter,author,Cornelius Van Wright,illustrator\nContributors: Vanessa Lewis-Porter,author,Cornelius Van Wright,illustrator\nBinding: hardcover\nPublication Date: \nRelease Date: \nLanguages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis\nPublished\/Release Date: 8 Sep 2026\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher\/Studio\/Brand: Lee \u0026amp; Low Books Inc\nAuthor\/Director\/Artist: Vanessa Lewis-Porter\nDimension (cm): 279x216x6 mm\nPackage Dimension (cm): 12x285x225 mm\nItem Weight (g): 420\nPackage Weight (g): 408","brand":"Lee \u0026 Low Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67685465227561,"sku":"BK1643795023","price":49.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/5868\/0105\/files\/9781643795027.jpg?v=1793999604","url":"https:\/\/www.centloop.com\/en-au\/products\/the-things-we-hold","provider":"Centloop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
