A wonderful child-led book that celebrates Deaf culture and
introduces readers to British Sign Language Marvellously positive
and encouraging throughout, this would be a useful addition to any
primary school or public library, as well as being useful to help
any child understand a little more about their deaf peers. - The
Carousel Ava is like any other 7-year-old. She likes to talk and
laugh with her friends, is obsessed with dogs and loves being
active. Ava is also deaf - and she's proud of it. She loves her
deaf community, that she's bilingual, and that she experiences the
world differently from hearing people. In this book, Ava welcomes
her hearing peers to her daily life, the way technology helps her
navigate the world and explains common misconceptions about deaf
people - and introduces some of her deaf heroes who have achieved
amazing things. She talks about her experiences at school making
friends with hearing children, and teaches readers the BSL alphabet
and some BSL phrases. Featuring photos of Ava, her friends and
family throughout, plus illustrations of hand signs, this book
celebrates deafness rather than discussing 'overcoming challenges'
or 'stigma'. Perfect for readers aged 5 and upwards.

Middle child Minnie and her two sisters have always been able to get through anything together – growing up without fathers, living the eccentric artist lifestyle, and riding out their mother's mental highs and lows.

Children have been disappearing from across Menaiya for longer than Amraeya ni Ansarim can remember. When her friend's sister is snatched, Rae knows she can't look away any longer - even if that means seeking answers from the royal court, where her country upbringing and clubfoot will only invite ridicule.
Yet at court she discovers an ally in the foreign princess, who recruits her as an attendant. So Rae begins to seek answers in the dark city streets, finding unexpected help in a thief with secrets of his own. But treachery runs deep, and the more Rae uncovers, the more she endangers the kingdom itself.
