First paperback edition in this topical non-fiction collection
about sustainability, now expanded to include new material. A child
follows a day in the life of Milly the cow, as she munches grass
with her friends, drinks gallons of water, makes cow pats in the
field, and visits the milking parlour with her farmer. Milly's milk
is made into butter, cheese and yoghurt. This series encourages
children to be environmentally aware by understanding where their
food comes from. Each book is full of information that has been
fact checked, yet presented in a simple and stylish way to spark
the interest of both young children and adults. There is a simple
quiz and fun facts at the end to explain more about dairy farming
and produce, and this new edition includes a gallery of cow breeds,
and a simple recipe using milk

A warm and funny eco-adventure with a clever message about looking
after our blue planet, perfect for budding David Attenboroughs!
When Little Fish and her family encounter an odd new fish bobbing
along on its own, they embark on an exciting journey to reunite it
with its family. But Odd Fish isn't the only creature who needs
Little Fish's help. Turtle has a tummy ache and Octopus's tentacles
are tangled. Clever readers will spot the one thing that links them
all . . . plastic. Maybe Odd Fish doesn't belong in the sea after
all? Eight million tonnes of plastic find their way into our oceans
and rivers every year. That's equal to dumping one rubbish truck
every minute into the sea! This urgent problem is highlighted for
the youngest readers with gentle humour and engaging characters,
and offers practical ways we we can all make a real difference to
protect our oceans and the creatures that live in them, and opens
up key discussions about the environment and the topical issues
highlighted in David Attenborough's Blue Planet.
The sea creatures are having a rough ride at the moment, navigating
plastic litter, chemical spills, warming oceans and fishing
supertrawlers. They share their predicament with some sparky,
beach-loving kids - and together they make an exciting plan to save
the world's seas and oceans.
This series of board books will help children to make the right
choice when coming to recycling and saving the planet! On each
page, after a short explanatory introduction, children will find a
turning wheel. If they place it on the right recycling action, the
following page will result in a happy ending. If they make the
wrong decision, something bad for the environment will happen...
but they can learn from that experience and start all over again
thinking about their choices! A simple yet effective idea to make
children understand that their actions have an impact on the
planet. They can learn from it and make the right choice also in
real life.
For fans of Jon Klassen, this sensitive and impactful picture book from
award-winning author-illustrator Christian Robinson is all about seeing
the world from different points of view, and the perfect entry point
for parents to help teach their little people about empathy and
community.
The small stuff too small to see.
Those who swim with the tide and those who don't.
The first to go and the last.
You matter.
In this bright and beautiful picture book, many different perspectives
around the world are deftly and empathetically explored – from a pair
of bird-watchers to the pigeons they’re feeding, from the hugest
dinosaur to the tiniest fly.
Young readers will be drawn into the luminous illustrations inviting
them to engage with the world in a new way and see how everyone is
connected and that everyone matters.
Written with great empathy and Rauf's trademark humour, The Great
(Food) Bank Heist is a moving story that gives a child's-eye view
of the increasing problem of food poverty. On Thursdays, Nelson,
Ashley and Mum head out to the bank. But not just any old bank -
the food bank. With its shining tins and packets of food stacked
from floor to ceiling, Nelson thinks it's the best kind of bank
there is. But there's a thief in town, and the shelves of the food
bank are getting emptier each day, leaving people hungrier than
ever. For the sake of his family and everyone else's, Nelson needs
to make them stop. But can he and his friends really be the ones to
catch the bank robber?
A powerful and timely story, exploring the journey of two young
refugee children in search of safety. Perfect for opening up
conversations about conflict and war, encouraging empathy and
understanding. A young boy and his older sister have left home to
play a game. To win, she tells him, they must travel across endless
lands together and make it to the finish line. Children they meet
along the way imagine what might be waiting for them across the
border: A spotted dog? Ice cream! Or maybe a new school. But the
journey is difficult, and the monsters are more real than they
imagined. And when it no longer feels like a game, the two children
must still find a way to forge ahead, and reach the other side.
Beautifully brought to life by author-illustrator Erika Meza, this
is a symbolic and emotionally rich picture book about the spirit
and strength it takes to leave your home behind.
Welcome to Nowhere is a powerful and beautifully written story
about the life of one family caught up in civil war by the
award-winning author Elizabeth Laird. Twelve-year-old Omar and his
brothers and sisters were born and raised in the beautiful and
bustling city of Bosra, Syria. Omar doesn't care about politics -
all he wants is to grow up to become a successful businessman who
will take the world by storm. But when his clever older brother,
Musa, gets mixed up with some young political activists, everything
changes . . . Before long, bombs are falling, people are dying, and
Omar and his family have no choice but to flee their home with only
what they can carry. Yet no matter how far they run, the shadow of
war follows them - until they have no other choice than to attempt
the dangerous journey to escape their homeland altogether. But
where do you go when you can't go home?
