A mesmerising illustrated young fiction offering from Polly Ho-Yen & Sojung Kim-McCarthy, perfect for early readers. When Ziggy goes to sleep in their new bed at their dad's house, they wake up in the middle of the dark and scary night forest. When even sleeping at their mum's house doesn't help, Ziggy is forced to face their fears... but maybe that scary forest isn't as scary as it sounds? Deals with themes of divorce/separation & night terrors through Polly's poetic and gently magical lens, accompanied by black-and-white artwork by Sojung Kim-McCarthy.
Buyisiwe feels like a stranger in London, where he grew up. And then he
receives the terrible news: he has to go and live with his estranged
father in a game reserve in South Africa. Africa is not what Buyisiwe
expected it to be. It is a place of great beauty and splendour,
magnificent animals and terrible danger. And now a scarred, man-eating
lion prowls the reserve, waiting for his next victim. Will Buyi be able
to heal from the physical and emotional scars left behind?
Sonia and I have a lot in common. Our parents are divorced. Our dads are gay. We both love barbecue potato chips. But she is different from me in at least one way: you can't tell how she's feeling just by looking at her. At all. When Bea's dad and his wonderful partner, Jesse, decide to marry, it looks as if Bea's biggest wish is coming true: she's finally (finally!) going to have a sister. They're both ten. They're both in fifth grade. Though they've never met, Bea knows that she and Sonia will be perfect sisters. Just like sisters anywhere, Bea thinks. But as the wedding day approaches, Bea makes discoveries that lead her to a possibly disastrous choice. Making a new family brings questions, surprises, and joy in this brilliant modern classic by Newbery Medalist Rebecca Stead.

Pa is weg, en skielik moet ek ’n grootmens wees. Ek wil nie die man van
die huis wees nie. Ek wil nie hoor hoe Ma in die stilte huil nie. Ek
wil nie hę Mason moet eendag opdaag en vra “Waar is Pa?” nie.
