From the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy bestselling Little
People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of King Charles.
Little Charles always knew that, one day, he would have a big job
to do. As the son of Queen Elizabeth II, he was a prince, and in
the future, he was to inherit the throne of the United Kingdom. As
a young man, he developed a passion for one cause; the environment.
Charles recognised that plastics and pollutants were causing harm
to Earth, and as the Prince of Wales, he spent all his efforts
championing climate justice and sustainability. As a member of the
Royal Family, Charles used his power to build important
organisations such as The Prince's Trust, a charity that works to
improve the lives of young people across the UK. And in 2022, when
he became King, he pledged that he would spend the rest of his life
serving his people with loyalty, respect and love. This inspiring
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 royal's life, from little prince to
grown-up king. Little People, BIG DREAMS is a bestselling series of
books and educational games that explore the lives of outstanding
people, from designers and artists to scientists and activists. All
of them achieved incredible things, yet each began life as a child
with a dream.

From the creators of the critically acclaimed The Night Gardener
and Ocean Meets Sky comes a whimsical and elegantly illustrated
picture book about community, art, the importance of giving back -
and the wonder that fell from the sky. THE GUARDIAN "[...] gorgeous
illustration [...] intricate monochrome [...] acid-bright touches
of colour [...] will prompt lively discussion." It fell from the
sky on a Thursday. None of the insects know where it came from, or
what it is. Some say it's an egg. Others, a gumdrop. But whatever
it is, it fell near Spider's house, so he's convinced it belongs to
him. Spider builds a wonderous display so that insects from far and
wide can come to look at the marvel. Spider has their best
interests at heart. So what if he has to charge a small fee? So
what if the lines are long? But as Spider raises the prices,
insects stop showing up, much to Spider's bemusement. And then, all
of a sudden, an unexpected disaster hits and the marvel disappears!
This charming story is accompanied by characterful illustrations,
and also teaches children important life lessons about greed and
the importance of sharing.
