One windy day a little boy happens upon a large black hat, lying in
the street. When he tries it on, he becomes a whole host of
different characters he's always wanted to be: a soldier marching
through the puddles, a cowboy galloping on his steed, a bandit
fleeing in the night, or a ringleader at a circus. But when the
owner comes to claim his hat, the little boy finds the March Wind
before him. Is this part of his imagination too? Vladimir Bobri's
timeless illustrations bring to life a magical childhood world in a
captivating story about make-believe and the transformative power
of the elements.
Board book edition of this bestselling story about confidence,
self-esteem, and a shy little mouse who sets out on a journey to
find his roar. In a dry dusty place where the sand sparkled gold,
stood a mighty flat rock, all craggy and old. And under that rock
in a tinyful house, lived the littlest, quietest, meekest brown
mouse. Fed up of being ignored by the other animals, Mouse wishes
he could roar like Lion. But, as he discovers, even the biggest,
bossiest people are scared sometimes ... and even the smallest
creatures can have the heart of a lion! A modern classic, The Lion
Inside has sold over 200,000 copies in the UK alone and been
translated into over 30 languages worldwide. "A heartfelt message,
delightfully conveyed." Parents in Touch "Captivating." Books for
Keeps "A delight to read over and over again." WRD
Who needs paint, paintbrushes and paper to create art? Not anywhere
artists when there are sticks, stones, sand, mud and clouds waiting
to be used! This story follows an anywhere artist, a creative
little girl's artistic adventures as she makes art anywhere and
with anything. Watch as she creates vivid creatures in the forest,
at the beach, after the rain and in the sky. Through this visual
treat, children will be inspired to make art out of anything
because sometimes imagination is the best tool.
Rooikappie en die wolf, die ouma en die jagter. Die karakters van
die beroemde fabel is aan almal bekend. Maar uit die illustrasies
kan ’n mens egter aanvoel hoe baie die karaktereienskappe van die
karakters, die landskappe en die atmosfeer verskil. Miskien is
selfs die afloop van hierdie weergawe anders. Hierdie boek is ’n
uitnodiging om nie na die gelui van ’n enkele klok te luister nie;
om altyd ander mense se beweegredes te ondersoek. Dis ’n
uitnodiging van ’n doodgewone skrywer om oor die ooreenkomste na te
dink, en om te laat nadink.

Amelia's granny forgets lots of things. Little things, like where
she put her glasses, and big things like people and places. But
everything anyone has ever forgotten is stored in The Forgettery,
and there Amelia and her granny learn the power of making memories.
Chosen by The Guardian for Book of the Month! Filled with warmth
and gentle humour, The Forgettery is a beautifully written,
sensitive look at dementia and memory loss. Over 850,000 people
live with dementia in the UK, which will soar to 2 million by 2051.
Globally, around 50 million people live with dementia, with nearly
10 million new cases each year. Opening up discussions surrounding
this challenging topic with little ones has never been more
important. Without ever explicitly mentioning dementia, The
Forgettery can be enjoyed as an adventure story where children
explore a fantastical world where memories can be re-discovered and
revisited as well as newly made. Rachel Ip's tender words capture
the wonderful bond between grandmother and granddaughter and Laura
Hughes conjures up an exciting, wonderous space where our most
precious memories are stored, and the challenge of dementia can be
gently explored and understood.

THE GUARDIAN "[...] gorgeous illustration [...] intricate
monochrome [...] acid-bright touches of colour [...] will prompt
lively discussion." 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.
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.
Bernard the Robot loses his bottom on the park swing, and sets off
to find it. Every time he gets close, it disappears again! Bird was
using it as a nest, but it was too heavy; Bear used it in his drum
kit, but it was too tinny; the Squirrels built sandcastles with
it...and now it looks as if they're sailing away in it. Will
Bernard EVER get his bottom back? Praise for No-Bot, the Robot with
No Bottom: 'Silly, funny, and very enjoyable to read!' The Bookbag

lots of giggles - from children and adults!' Parents in Touch 'Fans
of Barry, Norman and Keith will absolutely adore this new
wonderfully eccentric new character.' Mumsnet 'The book is
beautifully illustrated and the story is guaranteed to have you and
your child laughing... I can't recommend any of the Sue Hendra
books highly enough, seriously if you've never read any of her
books then you MUST!' Knees Up Mother Brown
The perfect picture book celebrating all children with a message of
kindness and friendship. I might not like gritty sand or scratchy
labels, busy places or messy tables, but with ... a quiet walk ...
a gentle smile ... and some time alone for a little while ... I can
be amazingly me - just like you. In this first children's book from
autism ambassador, Christine McGuinness shows just how important it

along with her three children, Christine's message to parents and
carers to help them talk with their children about neurodiversity
is the perfect way to introduce the subject to any child. This
picture book for 3+ emphasises the importance of empathy and
kindness Vibrant art from Hannah Jayne Lewin communicates a
positive message A strong message that will resonate with all
children.
