Funny, emotional and uplifting picture book about separation and
love, to help children understand their emotions. Everyone loves
everyone in Tess's house, but when Tess has to leave for school for
the very first time, she is worried that her family's love might
not stretch that far. Mum explains that love is like a string, it
connects people together even when they are far away. At school
Tess notices that all the children have strings! Some are new, some
are old, some stretch a long way, and some even stretch right up
into the sky. But what happens when a string breaks? Love is the
third in a trio of feel-good picture books from author Corrinne
Averiss (Joy (2018), Hope (2019)) - a pure delight from start to
finish. A wonderful story that subtly tackles difficult topics of
death, grief, separation and overcoming anxiety.
Do you know the difference between a vagina and a vulva? If you're
not sure, this book could be for you! There are lots of reasons why
we don't talk about vaginas. It can be embarrassing and nobody else
talks about vaginas - so why should you? But KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
people! The more we know the better equipped we will be to deal
with our bodies in the future. In this beautifully illustrated
book, Dr Allison K. Rodgers simply explains everything from why we
have periods to sex and consent in the age of social media. You'll
learn the correct names for everything, realise public hair is
TOTALLY NORMAL, and discover the magical self-cleaning properties
of vaginas.

Since Shelbi enrolled at Windward Academy as a senior and won't be
there very long, she hasn't bothered making friends. What her
classmates don't know about her can't be used to hurt her - you
know, like it did at her last school. Andy Criddle is not okay. At
all. He's had far too much to drink. Again. Which is bad. And
things are about to get worse. When Shelbi sees Andy at his lowest,
she can relate. So she doesn't resist reaching out. And there's no
doubt their connection has them both seeing stars . . . but the
closer they get, the more the past threatens to pull their
universes apart. #1 New York Times bestselling author Nic Stone

mental health, and finding love amid the chaos. Praise for Dear

Now an Oscar nominated film starring Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson and Jacob Tremblay.
'My name is August. I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse.'
Auggie wants to be an ordinary ten-year-old. He does ordinary things - eating ice cream, playing on his Xbox. He feels ordinary - inside. But ordinary kids don't make other ordinary kids run away screaming in playgrounds. Ordinary kids aren't stared at wherever they go.
Born with a terrible facial abnormality, Auggie has been home-schooled by his parents his whole life. Now, for the first time, he's being sent to a real school - and he's dreading it. All he wants is to be accepted - but can he convince his new classmates that he's just like them, underneath it all?
WONDER is a funny, frank, astonishingly moving debut to read in one sitting, pass on to others, and remember long after the final page.
A modern and inclusive guide to help every child understand their
journey from childhood to being a grown-up. Growing up is a natural
part of life, and every child deserves to understand the different
ways their body may change as they grow older. While puberty
happens to everyone, every child's journey from childhood to being
a grown-up will be as unique as they are! In this honest,
accessible illustrated guide to puberty, young readers can find out
exactly what may happen as they grow from being a child to becoming
a grown-up. From getting taller and discovering hair growing in new
places to developing breasts, experiencing periods or having wet
dreams, this book provides the perfect stepping stone for every
caregiver to have an open conversation about what it really means
for a child to be growing up. Working closely with a leading
national LGBT organisation as well as a biology specialist and an
equality, diversity and inclusivity consultant, Growing Up covers
everything from biological sex and gender identity to physical
changes and emotional development, including sections on
friendships and emotional health, creating and respecting
boundaries and online safety. Written in friendly and accessible
language that can be shared with a child or read independently,
Growing Up also includes a further reading section and glossary to
answer more complex questions, as well as signposting where young
readers can find help from trusted sources outside of the home or
school environment.
