'A wonderful, tender evocation of friendship and how its power can
help you overcome your worst fears. A pure splash of joy.' The
Daily Mail Shortlisted for Oscar's Book Prize 2022 Duck is not like
other ducks. Duck doesn't like water and is perfectly fine alone,
thank you very much. But then, one dark and stormy night, an
outgoing, water-loving, and very lost Frog turns up at Duck's door.
Can this odd couple find Frog's home? And will they find friendship
along the way? This endearing, gorgeously illustrated tale marks
the author-illustrator debut for Steve Small, illustrator of the
highly acclaimed, I'm Sticking with You by Smriti Halls
(shortlisted for Oscar's Book Prize 2021 and for Children's
Illustrated Book of the Year at the British Book Awards 2021). 'A
beautiful book, with a zen-like balance, and full of light and
drama, too.' Benji Davies, creator of The Storm Whale

As comforting as a soft blanket and warm as a goodnight hug, Eric
Metaxas' lullaby It's Time to Sleep, My Love is delightfully
brought to life by bestselling artist Nancy Tillman (On the Night
You Were Born), whose illustrations celebrate the wonders of the
natural world, and the bonds of family. It's time to sleep, it's
time to sleep, the fishes croon in waters deep. The songbirds sing
in trees above, "It's time to sleep, my love, my love." As children
prepare for bed, the world around them is also settling down for
the night. Animals – who live in the jungle, the forest, the sea
– all whisper to their babies a soft refrain: "It's time to
sleep, my love."
