A touching story of understanding and friendship, all wrapped up in the delightful aroma of freshly baked bread.
As night falls, one little bunny follows her twitchy nose to a mobile bakery, where formidable chef, Wolf is baking bread. Within its charming confines, they form an unexpected friendship and despite their worries, begin to understand and trust each other as they embark on their dream of creating the world’s most mouth-watering bread. An ensemble cast of animal creatures, bring this delightful story to life.
This inspiring picture book retells the story of Nobel Peace Prize
nominee Greta Thunberg - the Swedish teenager who has led a global
movement to raise awareness about the world's climate crisis -
using allegory to make this important topic accessible to young
children. Greta is a little girl who lives in a beautiful forest
threatened by Giants. When the Giants first came to the forest,
they chopped down trees to make houses. Then they chopped down more
trees and made even bigger homes. The houses grew into towns and
the towns grew into cities, until now there is hardly any forest
left. Greta knows she has to help the animals who live in the
forest, but how? Luckily, Greta has an idea... A section at the
back explains that, in reality, the fight against the 'giants'
isn't over and explains how you can help Greta in her fight. This
book has been printed sustainably in the UK on 100% recycled paper.

In this book from the highly acclaimed Little People, BIG DREAMS
series, discover the incredible life of Marcus Rashford, the
world-famous footballer and campaigner against child hunger. When
Marcus was a kid, he had a family that loved him and a talent for
football. His mum, Melanie, worked long hours to provide for her
family, but sometimes she would go without food herself to make
sure that her children had enough to eat. With his mum's support,
Marcus pursued his dreams and progressed through the youth academy
at Manchester United Football Club. He worked hard and trained for
years to reach the top of the game, making his debut in the Premier
League in 2016. But no matter how successful he became, he never
forgot where he came from and his experience as a hungry child.
When schools were closed during the Coronavirus pandemic of 2020,
the situation left schoolchildren without free meals that they
would have had. And so Marcus took it upon himself to lead a
nation-wide campaign to ensure that no child would go without food.
This powerful book features stylish and quirky illustrations and
extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with
historical photos and a detailed profile of the footballer's life.
