The perfect potty-training book for little ones - outrageously funny and gently reassuring in equal measure!
Uh-oh! Kiwi needs a wee-wee, and he can't stop weeing everywhere wee-wees don't go: on the floor, in the swimming pool, and even on poor Penguin's lap! Oh, feathers. Will Kiwi ever learn to use the big-bird potty?
A laugh-out-loud tale of one kiwi's journey to being a big bird who wees in the potty and not, well, anywhere and EVERYWHERE else! With hilarious illustrations and rollicking rhymes you can't help but sing along with, this is the perfect potty-training book for encouraging little ones.
A joyful book that shows children how their wonderful features,
traits and heritage can be lovingly passed down from biological and
chosen family members. As a young girl explores the idea of her
family tree, she notices all the beautiful physical features she
has inherited from her black and south Asian family lines. Not only
that, she realises how their love and nurture bring our shared
interests, passions and personality traits. From Nanny's nose for a
good recipe, to Grandpa's melanin skin, a sense of belonging and
pride rings through in the most pure and joyful way.

depicting the traditional Swedish character of the house elf, or
tomten. This is a beautiful collector's combined edition of Astrid
Lindgren's two classic Tomten tales, The Tomten & The Tomten
and the Fox.
Dolly the carthorse comes to the rescue when the old steam train
breaks down and Poppy, Sam and Rust are stranded on their school
outing. Ages 5-7.

they are. Through gentle rhyming words and magical illustrations,
