In this book from the highly acclaimed Little People, BIG DREAMS
series, discover the incredible life of Marcus Rashford, the
world-famous footballer and campaigner against child hunger. When
Marcus was a kid, he had a family that loved him and a talent for
football. His mum, Melanie, worked long hours to provide for her
family, but sometimes she would go without food herself to make
sure that her children had enough to eat. With his mum's support,
Marcus pursued his dreams and progressed through the youth academy
at Manchester United Football Club. He worked hard and trained for
years to reach the top of the game, making his debut in the Premier
League in 2016. But no matter how successful he became, he never
forgot where he came from and his experience as a hungry child.
When schools were closed during the Coronavirus pandemic of 2020,
the situation left schoolchildren without free meals that they
would have had. And so Marcus took it upon himself to lead a
nation-wide campaign to ensure that no child would go without food.
This powerful book features stylish and quirky illustrations and
extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with
historical photos and a detailed profile of the footballer's life.

Flooded is the funny and beautifully illustrated tale of animals
who live in a city that is ever so slowly flooding. The flood comes
gradually at first. All the animals ignore the obvious and go about
their busy lives, disjointed from one another and preoccupied by
their own problems. Eventually, the flood water reaches a height
that they can no longer ignore and they have to work together to
save their city. All the animals join together in a line and pull
out the plug that is drowning the city. This is an exceptionally
illustrated story that teaches a message not to let problems fester
and with a little team work and community spirit, no problem is
insurmountable.

How can we answer the many questions young children have about
death? Looking for a meaningful way to explain to neighbourhood
children the death of a five-year-old friend, Doris Stickney
adapted the graceful fable about the waterbug that changed into a
dragonfly. First published under the title "Death" in 'Colloquy'
(December 1971), the story was revised and expanded in 1982 to
become the current bestselling Waterbugs and Dragonflies. This
edition features full-colour paintings by Gloria Ortiz Hernandez,
an artist whose work has been exhibited in Europe, South America,
and the USA. A native of Columbia, she currently lives and creates
her work on a farm in Pennsylvania.
