A comforting, reassuring and sensitive portrayal of divorce. In
this award-winning picture book classic about divorce, Alex has two
homes - a home where Daddy lives and a home where Mummy lives. Alex
has two front doors, two bedrooms and two very different favourite
chairs. He has a toothbrush at Mummy's and a toothbrush at Daddy's.
But whether Alex is with Mummy or Daddy, one thing stays the same:
Alex is loved by them both - always. This gently reassuring story
focuses on what is gained rather than what is lost when parents
divorce, while the sensitive illustrations, depicting two unique
homes in all their small details, firmly establish Alex's place in
both of them. Two Homes will help children - and parents - embrace
even the most difficult of changes with an open and optimistic
heart.

The panda-tastic sequel to Sarah Horne's huggable debut, Panda at
the Door! 'Adorable fun!' SARAH MCINTYRE Life is good for Callum's
family and Pudding, their panda. Pudding and Dad's hit stage show,
Panda-mime, has been wowing audiences - but then an ambitious
journalist, Penni P, twigs that Pudding's a real-life talking
panda. If she exposes the truth, her story will be everywhere.
Penni woos the family with false promises of fame and fortune in
Hollywood in order to find her proof. Soon, everyone's starry-eyed
except Callum. Can he expose Penni and stop her from breaking the
story that could tear his family apart? The follow-up to
bestselling illustrator Sarah Horne's huggable debut Panda at the
Door. A modern-day family adventure: Paddington Bear meets Mary
Poppins! A funny, lively story which touches on themes of family,
belonging and truth - perfect for readers aged 6+. Quirky
integrated illustrations throughout.
A poignant story about dealing with grief through the magic of
reading and friendship. Calypso's mum died a few years ago and her
emotionally incompetent Dad can't, or won't, talk about Mum at all.
Instead he throws himself into writing his book A History of the
Lemon. Meanwhile the house is dusty, there's never any food in the
fridge, and Calypso retreats into her own world of books and
fiction. When a new girl, Mae, arrives at school, the girls' shared
love of reading and writing stories draws them together. Mae's
friendship and her lively and chaotic home - where people argue and
hug each other - make Calypso feel more normal than she has for a
long time. But when Calypso finally plucks up the courage to invite
Mae over to her own house, the girls discover the truth about her
dad and his magnum opus - and Calypso's happiness starts to
unravel. 'A story of great warmth and emotional wisdom' LINDA
