Peep under seaweed and waves and into rock pools to discover all
the delights of the seashore in this interactive little book. What
does a limpet look like in its shell? What's inside a pelican's
bulging beak? What is a sea otter cuddling as it floats on its
back? From bugs in the sand dunes to turtles hatching on a moonlit
beach, this book explores coastlines from all around the world.
"We need to tell you something Lily!" they buzzed. "It's about the
wildflowers ..."Lily Katinka thinks she is the most beautiful
flower in Dudley's garden. But she's rather worried because Dudley
has allowed the end of the lawn to grow wild, and it seems so
untidy! Adding to her dismay, the 'ugly weeds and scruffy grasses'
are getting a lot of attention from the bees and the butterflies.
What is so special about the bottom of the garden? Lily Katinka has
to find out ... Perfect for children and families who love a
heartwarming and beautifully illustrated story about the hidden
world of wildflowers in the garden. This edition features an
author's note filled with surprising details about bees - for
example, did you know that honey bees make a special food out of
pollen called bee bread? A beautiful book inside and out 'An
important lesson that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes and it's
not just looks that take centre stage' ~ Kraftireader 'A beautiful
story about a Lily who thinks she's the most important plant in the
garden ... engaging and memorable' ~ Goodreads reviewer

When Poems Fall From the Sky marries science and poetry to create a
tender and thoughtful love-letter to Earth promising children a
riot of imagination, humour and joy - the perfect book to celebrate
National Poetry Day on 6th October. The collection of poems, raps,
rhymes, haiku and little plays is written by Zaro Weil, winner of
the 2020 CLiPPA children's poetry prize and is illustrated in full
colour throughout by artist Junli Song. When Poems Fall From the
Sky is the first title to publish since the pair won the coveted
CLiPPA prize with their stunning poetry anthology, Cherry Moon. In
exquisitely illustrated full-colour pages, trees, birds, animals,
rivers, flowers, mountains and insects each share their own magical
stories. And the stories they tell, the 'poems' that fall from the
sky, subtly and powerfully illuminate our hope and collective role
as guardians of our earth.
