An informative and inclusive children's guide to neurodiversity for
those not in the know and to inspire children who are
neurodivergent. Our brains are unique in the way they function,
work, and think. Neurodiversity is still a relatively 'new' concept
that can be tricky to understand, but this book is here to help!
This inspirational book written by neurodiverse author Louise
Gooding challenges misconceptions and shows how neurodivergent
brains work a little differently. It is common for neurodiverse
people and those with neurological differences to feel as though
they don't fit in, but their extraordinary differences should be
embraced. Wonderfully Wired Brains teaches children aged 7-9 all
about the awesome abilities that neurodiverse individuals have,
introduces them to advocates who are challenging neurodiversity
stereotypes, and most importantly gives them a safe space to feel
accepted. This informative and educational book for children
features: - Accurate, understandable explanations of diagnoses that
impact the brain, including each area of neurodiversity and what it
can or does mean for anyone with that particular neurological
difference. - A positive, friendly look at neurodiverse brains that
debunks myths and stereotypes. - Informative, inclusive text is
accompanied by colourful, modern illustrations. The font and
colours used have been selected to accommodate a range of
neurodiverse readers. Combining neurodiverse experiences with
science, history, and brain-bursting facts, Wonderfully Wired
Brains has something for everyone! Whether your child is
neurodiverse or not, this book will inspire inquisitive young
readers and show them that no two brains function in the same way
and that everyone's differences should be celebrated. There really
is no other book like it.
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.
A personal, powerful and resonant account of the Holocaust by one of this country's best-loved children’s authors. By turns charming, shocking and heart-breaking, this is the true story of Michael Rosen’s search for his relatives who “went missing” during the Second World War – told through prose, poetry, maps and pictures.
When Michael was growing up, stories often hung in the air about his great-uncles: one was a clock-mender and the other a dentist. They were there before the war, his dad would say, and weren’t after.
Over many years, Michael tried to find out exactly what happened: he interviewed family members, scoured the internet, pored over books and traveled to America and France. The story he uncovered was one of terrible persecution – and it has inspired his poetry for years since.
Here, poems old and new are balanced against an immensely readable narrative; both an extraordinary account and a powerful tool for talking to children about the Holocaust.

Fourteen-year old Frank Hollahan moves to Florida in 1943, at the
height of World War II, to join his father, a Navy seaman. When
Frank and his mother arrive at the busy naval port of Jacksonville,
a surprising new life awaits them. In his new school, Frank's
tendency toward exaggeration quickly builds him a reputation as a
teller of tales. When he informs everyone that he saw an enemy spy
land on the local beach, no one believes him, but Frank sets out to
prove the spy's existence. The spy who came in from the sea ends up
teaching Frank and the people of Jacksonville valuable lessons
about friendship, perseverance, and the power of the truth.
