A new chapter: award-winning author and illustrator Catherine Rayner launches babywear range
Olive the Owl babygrow and hooded blanket

This clothing range features charming illustrations of Molly the hare, Olive the owl and Dexter the fox plus snippets of their story. This trio of special friends will delight little ones and their families. The collection consists of practical, jersey fabric designs made from the softest pure cotton with the exclusive character illustrations reproduced in the finest detail. Catherine's vision was to create a clothing collection centred around storytelling to encourage reading to babies from birth and to inspire a love of stories for life. Every garment comes with a tiny story booklet giving a peek into the enchanting world of Molly, Olive and Dexter and the fun and friendship that they enjoy together.  The character illustrations are replicated in beautiful detail across eye-catching baby grows, practical tops and joggers and cosy hooded wrap blankets. The range is unisex and items are available to fit babies from birth up to toddlers. Catherine continues to work with literacy charity Read for Good, donating 10% of the profits from the Catherine Rayner babywear range to support the organisation’s work in giving every child the opportunity to develop a love of reading. Commenting on the new range, Catherine said, “I’m absolutely thrilled to launch a project that’s very close to my heart. I think that feeding children’s imagination and encouraging them to take pleasure in reading is one of the most important and rewarding parts of my job. I really love the idea of stories being part of the fabric of everyday life and that’s how the idea for this range was born.”
