Brilliant Aunt Maude visits seasides the world over and has become
quite the pebble collector. Pebbles of all shapes, sizes and
colours and even one that looked a bit like Elvis Presley if you

and Morris. One by one, and by strange and unusual ways, each child

heart of London, home to an extraordinary cast of performers.
There's Dante the miraculous magician, Petunia the storyteller and
seventy-year-old contortionists - the Fortune Sisters! But ticket
sales are dwindling and the curtains might have to close - for the
final time. Until one day, as the Pebbles are exploring the many
nooks and crannies of the theatre, they stumble upon something they
were never meant to find . . . something that just might save the
theatre after all . . .

An innovative picture book biography about an unsung hero of early
animationLotte Reiniger (1899-1981) was a German film director and
animator best known for The Adventures of Prince Achmed, which was
released in 1926 and is the oldest surviving animated movie. (It
came out a full 11 years before Disney's Snow White!) As a little
kid, Reiniger loved reading fairytales and fell in love with
puppetry. At school, she learned about paperschnitte, or papercuts,
which helped her create her signature style of silhouettes. She
grew up to make more than 40 films throughout her long career, most
of which were fairytales that used her stop-film animation
technique of hand-cut silhouettes. Reiniger is now seen as the
foremost pioneer of silhouette animation and the inventor of an
early form of the multiplane camera. With art inspired by
Reiniger's cut-paper style and a text that uses a fairytale motif
that mimics her movies, Out of the Shadows is a sweeping tribute to
one of most important figures of animation, whose influence still
resonates today.
