Following on from Love Grows Everywhere, A Pinch of Love is Barry
Timms and Tisha Lee's second book on the subject of love - this
time celebrating the love that comes through baking, cooking and
sharing food. In this beautiful story told in rhyming verse, a boy
and his grandmother, are preparing for a big neighbourhood
bake-off. See the loving (and sticky!) moments of their tender
relationship, along with the many other warm bonds that exist
within their community. Barry Timms' gentle text skilfully links
these loving moments with the love that is represented by the food,
while Tisha Lee's lush illustrations give real depth to this
vibrant and diverse neighbourhood. This book is a warm and charming
tale, perfect for Valentine's Day and beyond.
Roly is a woodlouse and Rita is a firefly. They are very different,
but this is why they like each other. Then, one day, Rita thinks
Roly's suit is too hard and Roly thinks Rita shines too brightly.
Suddenly being different seems very difficult. This wonderful
pop-book from the author of The Colour Monster is a celebration of
friendship and differences.
The first ever picture book addressing how a disabled child might want
to be spoken to.
What happened to you? Was it a shark? A burglar? A lion? Did it fall
off?
Every time Joe goes out the questions are the same . . . what happened
to his leg? But is this even a question Joe has to answer?
A ground-breaking, funny story that helps children understand what it
might feel like to be seen as different.
Dachy wears a hearing aid. But sometimes, when his friends get too
noisy, he likes to turn it off to get some peace and quiet. One
day, when his hearing aid is off, Dachy falls asleep and ends up
floating down the river towards a waterfall and a hungry crocodile.
Can his friends rescue him in time? Read and approved by The
National Deaf Children's Society, this gentle story shows children
that everyone is different and might have difficult situations to
deal with, but with love and support they can get through anything.

Reds love being red. Yellows love being yellow. And Blues love being blue. The problem is that they just don't like each other.
But one day, along comes a different colour who likes Reds, Yellows and Blues, and suddenly everything starts to change.
Maybe being different doesn't mean you can't be friends ...
A very special picture book that supports the adage that there is more that unites us than divides us. Along Came a Different just goes to show how much better we can all be when we come together to find common ground as friends. Every bookshelf should have a copy.
From the winner of the New York Times Best Illustrated Children's
book, comes a beautiful meditation on what makes a home. Each
creature featured in this beautiful collection shows a unique way
that they build their home, and poetic text accompanies each,
making this both a narrative, non-fiction treasury and a poetic
reflection on what nature can teach us. Discover how a beaver
builds a safe dam for it's family and how a tailor bird forages for
grasses and animal hairs to use as threads, to sew a truly
tailor-made nest. In this book, children and parents alike will
discover in vivid colour and poetry, all the wild ways there are to
build a home. Â
