Everything is made of stuff. Some things are made of paper, like this book. And some things are made of PLASTIC. If you look around you, plastic is everywhere. Even in places where it's not meant to be. If it drops to the ground, it doesn't rot away - it sticks around for ever.
Our world is drowning in plastic, and it's a big problem. Award-winning author-illustrator Neal Layton is here to explain where plastic comes from, why it doesn't biodegrade, and why that's dangerous for animals and humans alike. But he's also FULL of ideas for how you can help! From giving up straws in juice cartons to recycling all we can and taking part in a beach clean, A Planet Full of Plastic will get young readers excited about how they can make a difference to keep Planet Earth happy.
This brilliant non-fiction picture book, illustrated in Neal's trademark collage style, is perfect for readers aged 4-7 who love nature and want to help the environment.
A tender, beautifully illustrated story that captures the true
heart of friendship. Mila, the seal, has found a special rock in
the middle of the sea. One day, after a funny accident, she meets
Charlie the seagull. The two become friends and together they share
precious time on the rock until Charlie has to leave with his
family. What will become of Mila and what will become of their
friendship?

From critically acclaimed author-illustrator Peter Carnavas comes a
gentle breeze of a picture book with themes of mindfulness,
observation, and being present in the natural world. Mary was a
quiet girl. She thought quiet thoughts, stepped quiet steps, and
whispered quiet words. Mary knows how to savor the small things.
Wonder is everywhere: in the rustle of leaves, in the sigh of a
sleeping dog, in the wingbeats of the birds who visit her upcycled
feeders. But Mary's family couldn't be more different. Amidst the
sound of blow-dryers, blenders, lawnmowers, and her brother's
trombone, Mary goes almost unnoticed. It isn't until her family
starts searching the neighborhood for her that they begin to see
the world through her eyes. A Quiet Girl invites young readers (and
the noisy adults in their lives) to appreciate the thousand little
pleasures that surround us-if only we would notice them.
