Friends are an important part of every toddler's social life ...
and now, part of their first art collection! Friendships are among
the most important relationships we have. Friends play, laugh, and
share - and comfort one another in times of need. Here, for the
first time, a collection of expertly-curated diverse works by
all-star artists from across the centuries and around the world
celebrates the concept of friendship via paintings, drawings,
sculptures, photographs, and more. A brief, tender, read-aloud text
accompanies each work, and the work's title and artist's name are
also included for reference. This appealing board book is
guaranteed to educate and inspire and will help toddlers and
pre-schoolers connect their own experiences to those they see on
the canvas - adding depth of meaning to what they see. Ages 2-4

Twelve-year-old Nyla's dad died when she was four, or that's what she's been told. So when Grandma Farida insists she saw him in the local supermarket, Nyla wonders if Grandma is simply "time travelling" again - the phrase she uses when Grandma forgets.
But Grandma is Nyla's best friend and when she asks Nyla to find her dad and bring him home, Nyla decides to make a brand new promise to her to find him.
As Nyla turns detective and sets out on a journey through her family's past to try and find the truth, she also hopes that uncovering important stories will help her understand who she is, and where she fits in the world ...
A page-turning verse novel about the power of memory and story-telling, and an unbreakable bond between a grandmother and granddaughter.
Ben Smith has the perfect family, but in the sixteenth year of his life, everything changes. Ben's world is pulled inside out, his love-life turned upside down. Three things happen: A truck collides with a bus. A plane lands in Dubai, one passenger short. There is a vicious dog fight. Ben's family circle suddenly grows by one, then by two and then by another. The sum of all these new family members should be three, right? Except everyone knows that two plus one relatives don't make three, they make trouble. It's a year of relative madness.
