Blossom has grown up surrounded by the beautiful plants and flowers
from her family's market stall. The stall was started by her
grandparents, Tutu and Pops, and passed on to Blossom's parents
after their death. It's a magical place where customers come to
find flowers for all occasions: from celebrating love to offering
comfort in times of sorrow. But now the stall is at risk, with
tension rising as Blossom's parents argue about the future. Can
Blossom call on the lessons she learned from Tutu and find a way to
cope with the dramatic changes that are happening around her. Can
she save the flower stall? Acclaimed author Laura Dockrill sows
seeds of hope and community at the flower market in this heartfelt,
lyrical tale of family life and change. This book features a
dyslexia-friendly layout and font, and illustrations throughout so
that even more readers can enjoy it.
Needlework for Schools provides the guidance needed to sew
successfully, whatever the level of skill.

When Hazel and her father bake together, her mother says they make
the whole house smell like a fancy bakery. And when they bake in
the morning, it's absolutely okay to sample the goods- even if it's
for breakfast. One day Hazel decides to organize a bake sale for
her school, encouraging her friends to contribute to the effort.
The results take readers all over the world-from strawberry mochi
and pumpkin empanadas to Indian-spiced shortbread and Egyptian
basbousa cake. Best of all, each of these treat-along with muffins,
carrot cake, scones, and vegan and gluten free items-comes with its
own easy-to-follow recipe. The author of a popular blog with the
same name, Cynthia Cliff knows how to make recipes look as good as
they taste. Her charming illustrations combine the simplicity of
folk art with a sophisticated flair. And her down-to-earth
instructions accommodate all sorts of substitutions and skill
levels. The perfect gateway book to a lifetime of satisfying and
healthy baking, Pie for Breakfast will also introduce families to
new flavours and treats, opening their palates and their eyes to
the delicious ways that baking can bring us together.

materials from around the house. With step-by-step instructions and
handy cut-outs this book has ten brilliant projects (and a dozen
variations) that are sure to keep kids happy and engaged with hours
of fun. Animal lovers can make their own owl or bunny and budding
performers could craft their first set of juggling balls. Those
with the smallest of fingers may need a little help with cutting
and gluing, but these projects are a fantastic introduction into
crafting and perfect for kids to make on their own or fun for the
whole family. Each project has a clear list of everything you will
need, and the ideas are easy to customise to your little one's

Henri Matisse created some of his most exquisite works by cutting
shapes out of paper. Delightfully entertaining and playfully
inventive, his "drawings with scissors" are also a superb
introduction to the most basic artistic concepts: color, line, and
form. This engaging and accessible look at Matisse's cut-outs,
arguably the highlight of his magnificent career, follows the
artist as he goes in search of pure forms of expression.
Illustrated with beautiful reproductions of Matisse's most famous
works, the book relates an imaginary tale about how the colors and
shapes created by Matisse come to life, carrying the reader off
into the artist's fantasy world. It reflects Matisse's spontaneity,
his love of bold colors, and his seemingly effortless ability to
capture movement on paper, which make him an artist of great appeal
to children. Fun and easy-to-follow, this exploration of Matisse's
cut-outs invites children of all ages to draw with scissors just
like the artist, using the sheets of paper printed in
Matisse-inspired colors included in the book.
