Small children are often asked to choose between a gendered binary
- 'boy' or 'girl', 'pink' or 'blue'. This colourful picture book
smashes these stereotypes and encourages the reader to follow their
own way! "Girl or Boy?" What brings you joy? "Pink or blue?" It's
up to you. With vibrant illustrations and concise, poetic text,
this powerful book teaches young children that there are no limits
in what you can do and who you can be. You are unique! Translated
from the original Portuguese by award-winning transgender poet Jay
Hulme, My Own Way is an important, timely and beautiful celebration
of identity, difference, and respect.

you to admire and celebrate your body for all the amazing things it
can do (like laugh, cry, hug and feel) and to help you see that you
are so much more than your body. Bodies come in all different forms
and abilities. All these bodies are different and all these bodies
are good bodies. There is no size, ability or colour that is
perfect. What makes you different makes you, you - and you are
amazing! Love Your Body introduces the language of self-love and
self-care to help build resilience, while representing and
celebrating diverse bodies, encouraging you to appreciate your
uniqueness. This book was written for every girl, regardless of how
you view your body. All girls deserve to be equipped with the tools
to navigate an image-obsessed world. Featuring a special surprise
poster on the jacket, this book will show you that freedom is
loving your body with all its "imperfections" and being the
perfectly imperfect you!

The poignant and inspiring true story of three young Kenyans who
fought to transform their slum and improve the lives of those
around them. Korogocho is one of Kenya's darkest slums, plagued by
gang violence, food and water shortages, and rampant pollution.
Most children have no future except for scavenging through trash
piles or resorting to lives of crime. One day, a boy named Daniel
Onyango and his friend, Mutura Kuria, decided to do more, creating
a band called the Hope Raisers to inspire the kids of Korogocho. In
The Hope Raisers: How a Group of Young Kenyans Fought to Transform
Their Slum and Inspire a Community, Nihar Suthar tells the amazing
story of how Daniel and Mutura turned their band into a platform
for change. They started teaching children on the streets how to
express themselves through art and established a skating team after
finding a pair of rollerblades in the dump. Suthar closely follows
the story of one rebellious girl, Lucy Achieng, who refused to get
married off at a young age and instead used competitive
rollerblading to reach for her dreams. Lucy continues to inspire
girls to stand up for themselves and challenge the longstanding
practices in Korogocho of early marriage and prostitution. The Hope
Raisers is an eye-opening look into a world of poverty and violence
where children receive only a basic education and are left with
little to no means to get out. Yet it also reveals the remarkable
impact that a few determined individuals can have on their
community, even in the most challenging of conditions. Part of the
proceeds from all book sales will be donated to the Hope Raisers
and toward improving the slum of Korogocho.
