Elaine Scott asked has anyone written a good children's picture book on the subject of ringing? A book written for under 5s about their parents or siblings ringing for the Jubilee, the mourning and the Proclamation and Coronation (to come), ending with a promise to get to ring when tall enough.

I'd be interested to hear from anyone with the necessary skills.

As a Children's librarian, I have never come across one. The best young book on ringing I have come across is Milly by Pippa Goodhart https://www.amazon.co.uk/Milly-Story-Book-Pippa-Goodhart/dp/0340672730/ref=sr_1_1?crid=15KHZAHKRY2C&keywords=milly+goodhart&qid=1664016237&sprefix=milly+goodhart%2Caps%2C102&sr=8-1 aimed at 6+ but could be read aloud to younger children. Pippa was a ringer as a teenager and rang 1 peal, maybe 2, in the Cambridge area, so got everything pretty much correct in this book. She might be persuaded to write one for under 5's.

Doesn't sound like quite what you're looking for, but there's a sweet children's story called "Beginning Christmas" by Rachel Hands. I was given a PDF of it.

I remember this. I think it was from a book of short stories on Christmas, but I can't recall the title, date, publisher etc.
