Today marks the 1 year anniversary of Babette Cole’s sad passing, so we wanted to take a moment to remember her brilliance, her awesome talent and her sparkling personality.

If you have a story you’d like to share, we’d love to hear from you. It might be your favourite book and the special memories it holds, passing on the books that you loved as a child to a new generation, or even meeting Babette herself.

Let’s celebrate Babette’s amazing life by sharing tales of the joy she brought to others.
