From author and illustrator Tom Percival, creator of the
bestselling Big Bright Feelings series: A magical, reassuring
picture book about moving house, to soothe even the biggest worries
Ivan's old house had always been so warm and friendly. This new one
was NOT. Ivan finds his new house strange and can't sleep. He lies
awake and then sees a shimmering light come down. The light turns
into a creature called a Moji, and it takes him on a fabulous
night-time adventure, up high into space, bounding through starlit
forests and down deep into the oceans. Ivan has never had so much
fun! And the magical Moji shows him that soon the new house will
feel like home. A gently emotional story to reassure fears about
moving house, with stunning artwork and a wonderful magical
element. The author/illustrator of Herman's Letter has shown his
breadth of talent with this new direction.
On a cold, snowy day, a young girl and her mother shop to buy
ingredients for vegetable soup. At home, they work together--step
by step--to prepare the meal. While the soup is cooking, they spend
the time playing games and reading. Before long, Daddy's home and
the family sits down to enjoy a home made dinner. This book
celebrates the importance of making a nutritious meal and sharing
in the process.

Into a world where it often seems nobody is listening comes a
poignant story that celebrates the power of silence. "Why are you
so quiet?" Her teacher implores it, her classmates shout it, even
her mom wonders it. Everyone, it seems, is concerned for Myra
Louise. So, in search of an answer to the tiresome question nobody
will stop asking, she invents a listening machine. If the
raindrops, or the crickets, or the dryers at the laundromat can
tell her why they're so quiet, maybe Myra Louise can finally make
everybody understand. But the more she listens, the less interested
she becomes in finding any answer at all. Because Myra Louise comes
to realize that all she really needs is someone else to listen
alongside her. With gorgeous illustrations from Risa Hugo, Jaclyn
Desforges's first picture book champions introversion and the value
of being a listener, a thinker, and an observer in our increasingly
loud world.
A bold and stylish introduction to the iconic and most-loved sights
of Christmas by leading textile design Jane Foster. From Father
Christmas to Rudolph the reindeer, these cheerful, retro-inspired
illustrations will make the perfect Christmas gift for little ones.

My Skin Your Skin is a powerful book to help children and adults
have meaningful discussions about race and anti-racism. Most
importantly, the book empowers children to be the best versions of
themselves; to have self-love, self-esteem and self-worth,
irrespective of their skin colour. This book was specifically
written by Early Years expert and children's media creator, Laura
Henry-Allain MBE, to support parents, teachers and carers to
explain what racism is, why it is wrong, and what children can do
if they see it or experience it. It also explores how important it
is for children to celebrate their achievements and greatness.
Fully-illustrated throughout by talented illustrator Onyinye Iwu,
My Skin, Your Skin is aimed at children aged four and above.
Containing explanations on key words and concepts written in
child-friendly, accessible language, with relatable examples, this
book supports children's understanding in building an anti-racist
stance from an early age. It is perfect to read at home, and in
classrooms, to support your child's life-long learning journey.

a bus, tanker, lorry, tractor, roller skates, a van, a boat, a
yacht, and a hot air balloon. The Tarantula Early Learners series
takes simple and essential topics and makes them easy, and fun to
learn. There are 12 books in the series. Their colourful
illustrations and friendly style - with titles such as 1 2 3, A B
