This special book asks children a simple question: How Can We Be
Kind? The answer is: by learning from the animal kingdom! Animals
demonstrate kindness and empathy towards each other, and care and
compassion can be seen all throughout the natural world. This book
shows children the ways they can be kind just like animalsare to
each other, while at the same time teaching them about the magic
and the beauty of the natural world. They can learn to be welcoming
like capybaras, who let other animals sit on top of them while they
wallow in mud. Or perhaps they might want to be like dolphins, who
guide other species to their destinations. Or maybe they would like
to work together like ants and bees, share what they have like
jackdaws or stick up for their friends like zebras. With beautiful
illustrations from Darla Okada, this beautiful picture book will
enchant and entertain children time and time again. There are facts
at the back about how each animal lives with and looks after its
fellow creatures. This sweet and thoughtful book is both a
celebration of the animal world and a manifesto for being kind in
everyday life.

Stitched Up is the heartwarming and fashion-forward novel from
author and journalist Jo O'Connell, perfect for younger fans of
Geek Girl and Ellie McNicoll. Cassie has always had a passion for
fashion — she loves finding quirky vintage looks from history.
But when she starts Silverdale High School and becomes fast friends
with label-obsessed Azra, she quickly realises that to fit in,
she'll have to worry about what people are wearing now, not in
Tudor England. So when she, Az and eco-warrior Fern are drafted to
redesign the school uniform, Cassie's caught between her real love
of fashion and keeping up appearances. When Cassie's neighbour
introduces her to The Knitwits, a local knitting group who are
coming apart at the seams, Cassie finally starts to feel like she
can be herself with people who accept her as she is and whips them
into shape to take their designs to the next level. But with the
design competiton at school heating up, Cassie soon finds herself
living two lives and Azra is starting to ask questions. Can she
keep her new love a secret when she wants to shout about it from
the rooftops?
