Some summers are just destined to be pretty.
Belly measures her life in summers. Everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August. Winters are simply a time to count the weeks until the next summer, a place away from the beach house, away from Susannah, and most importantly, away from Jeremiah and Conrad.
They are the boys that Belly has known since her very first summer—they have been her brother figures, her crushes, and everything in between. But one summer, one wonderful and terrible summer, the more everything changes, the more it all ends up just the way it should have been all along.

Tilda's world is just as she likes it - until, one day, it turns
completely upside down! From the bestselling Big Bright Feelings
series by Tom Percival Be open, be honest, be you! Big Bright
Feelings for little people. Tilda's world is just as she likes it .
. . until one day, it turns completely UPSIDE DOWN. All of a
sudden, everything is topsy-turvy, and nothing feels right. Things
that were once easy now seem incredibly challenging. Can Tilda
discover a new way to approach her problems and believe in herself?
Bold, bright and empowering, this is an inspiring story about
coping with difficult situations. It's the ideal book for helping
children to build resilience and embrace a 'can do' approach to
life. Tom Percival's Big Bright Feelings series is the perfect
springboard for conversations about mental and emotional health,
positive self-image, building self-confidence and managing
feelings. Every child's bookshelf should contain his books.
Race Cars is a children's book about white privilege created to
help parents and educators facilitate tough conversations about
race, privilege and oppression. Written by a clinical social worker
and child therapist with experience in anti-bias training and
edited by a diversity expert, Race Cars tells the story of 2 best
friends, a white car and a black car, that have different
experiences and face different rules while entering the same race.
Filled with bright, attention-grabbing illustrations, a notes and
activities section at the back helps parents, guardians and
teachers further discuss these issues with children. Why is this
book important? As early as 6 months old, a baby's brain can notice
race-based differences; children ages 2 to 4 can internalise racial
bias and start assigning meaning to race; and 5- to 8-year-olds
begin to place value judgments on similarities and differences. By
age 12, children have a complete set of stereotypes about every
racial, ethnic and religious group in society. Our guidance is
especially crucial during this impressionable time. Race Cars
offers a simple, yet powerful, way to introduce these complicated
themes to our children and is a valuable addition to classroom and
home libraries. "... a great tool for helping young people
understand structural racial inequality-and the importance of
challenging it!" - Margaret A. Hagerman, Associate Professor of
Sociology, Author of White Kids: Growing Up with Privilege in a
Racially Divided America "... can jumpstart important conversations
with children about racism, white privilege, and how to fight
racial injustice in their own lives." - Marianne Celano, New York
Times bestselling co-author of Something Happened in Our Town: A
Child's Story About Racial Injustice
"An essential mental-health handbook for the next generation" -

The ninth book in the bestselling series, from the brilliantly
talented Liz Pichon. TIPS FOR BEING TOP OF THE CLASS (Sadly...I did
NONE of these things.) 1. Stay awake in lessons (it helps.) 2.
Don't draw HILARIOUS pictures of your teachers. 3. AVOID the class
bully to stay out of trouble. 4. Don't let Mum and Dad write
ANYTHING in your school planner. 5. Don't let your grumpy sister
Delia BOSS you around. (Technically not a school issue - but still
important.) I'm TRYING to get voted onto the school council as well
- but thanks to the ABOVE list it's not exactly going to plan.
