*BRITISH BOOK OF THE YEAR* EasternEye Picked as as one of STYLIST'S *BEST AUTUMN READS OF 2020* 'A much-needed escape into a lyrical world' Let her be a little less human, a little more divine Give her heart armour so it doesn't break as easily as mine One girl's wild journey of strength, beauty and growth as she discovers who she really is. Lyrical wonder, spiritual revelation and revolution meet with epic mythical landscapes in this deeply intimate coming-of-age story, one that teaches us all, no matter how small we feel, to become the masters of our own destiny. Meet Paro. A girl with a strong will, a full heart and much to learn. Born into a family reeling from the ruptures of Partition, follow her as she crosses the precarious lines between childhood, teenage discovery and realising her adult self. Nikita Gill's masterful poetry and beautiful illustrations conjure up jasmine-scented voices and smiles inhabited by ancestor's souls, rain dancing in a new city and the painful caverns in our hearts. We are taken on a journey of deity wisdom, fragmented family, and love lost and gained. We see power in belief, healing from trauma and hope after conflict. Undercurrents of the Trimurti - the Creator, the Preserver and the Destroyer - run deep, as Paro must confront fear, desire and the darkest parts of herself in the search for meaning and, ultimately, empowerment. Navigating different cultures, religions and identities, The Girl and the Goddess is a mesmerising poetic tale of where we come from, how we grow and how we become who we are. 'A moving, layered story' The Irish Times 'One of the best books of the year ... a spiritually enriching experience' EasternEye

Everybody gets itchy, and every kid will love this title that scratches the itch to know more and about the history, anatomy, botany, biology behind it. Perfect for fans of Grossology books looking for something more substantive and dynamic. You can feel it coming on-that terrible, tortuous ITCH. As irritating as an itch is, it is also your body's way of sending you a message you can't miss, like you've brushed up against poison ivy or lice have taken up residence in your hair. None of which you'd know without that telltale itch! And there are so many things that make us itch-from fungus to fleas, mosquitoes to nettles, poison ivy to tarantulas! Combining history, anatomy, laugh-out-loud illustrations, and even tips to avoid-and soothe-the itch, Anita Sanchez and Gilbert Ford take readers on an intriguing (and sometimes disgusting) look into what makes you scratch.

This is the cutest baby touch and feel book ever! Parents and gift givers will find: the perfect book for entertaining babies on long car rides a great book for babies when parents are busy! a fun, educational toy for babies and toddlers a soft, washable, cloth book a special shower gift! The seven bright illustrations on the book's pages show charming scenes that every toddler will recognize at play, at mealtime, at bath time, and more. Each illustration comes with a little pocket where Teddy can be inserted as part of the new picture. The tiny Teddy is attached to the book's spine with a ribbon, so he can't get lost. There is a cloth carrying handle on the book's spine and a Velcro tab to keep the book closed. The book and Teddy come packaged in a clear plastic carrying case. What parents, grandparents, and teachers are saying: "Too cute! Would highly recommend!" "I bought this to add to my arsenal of toddler entertainment before I flew with my then 17-month-old daughter for twenty hours. Teddy, along with his family, got us through some portions of those flights when it felt like time was standing still. Teddy can sit at a table and eat a meal, brush his teeth, have a bath (with ducky) and towel off, sit on Daddy's lap for story time, give Mama a hug and then cuddle down in his bed with little teddy and go to sleep. The fact that Teddy can accomplish all this while still attached to the book is a blessing when you are in a plane or a car, so, unlike with some other toys, you don't spend time bumping your head and scrabbling around in the most undignified manner under seats while your toddler makes her disapproval known in no uncertain terms." "This book is adorable and a part of our bedtime ritual. I purchased when my son was 6-month-old and he loves it. The book is colorful and bright and in a good size. The story is cute, short, and you get to move the teddy bear through each page. On each page there's a place and an activity for Him: eat dinner, brush teeth with a detachable toothbrush, take a bath in the tub with a detachable ducky and put his pajamas on, reads a book on daddy lap and gets a hug from mom, then go to bed with his own little teddy bear. The fabric is good quality and durable, I washed it gentle and dried" "This is the absolute cutest soft book I have ever seen. It's excellent quality throughout and has the cleverest ways to manipulate the little bear on every page. I can't wait to give it to my grandson Teddy to read to his baby sister!"
