Gray just wants to be included. But the other colors are always
leaving him out. So he decides to create his own project: an
all-gray book. Once upon a time, there lived a wolf, a kitten, and
a hippo... Gray just knows it's going to be perfect. But as he adds
page after page, the Primary and Secondary colors show up...and
they aren't quite so complimentary. A book within a book, this
colorful tale explores the ideas of fitting in, appreciating
others, and looking at things from another perspective and also
uses personality and wit to introduce basic color concepts.

Just how scary can a holiday be? Very . . .
Twelve-year-old Stan is going on holiday. To Italy. He's not going with his family though, he's going with his best-friend Felix (although if Stan was honestly ranking his friends, Felix would be number five).
He's absolutely terrified.
Luckily, as well as emergency euros, Stan's mum has given him an emergency list that includes how to survive a shark attack, and what to do if he gets abducted by kidnappers.
Stan thinks that a better list would include how to cope with weird toilets, and what to do if he accidentally calls Felix's mum 'mum' in front of everybody.
And it soon turns out that Italy is full of strange food, difficult games, jellyfish and mosquitoes called Ian. Can Stan survive all this, as well as very complicated (and also, actually, very strange) grown-ups? One thing's for certain, Stan's not going to come back the same boy he left. He just hope he comes back at all . . .
Worst. Holiday. Ever is a story about facing fears, dealing with worries, and how it's OK to be anxious, scared, and sometimes a little bit brave.

Finn is in a horrible mood and doesn't want to talk about it. After
some persuading, though, they agree to go for a hike with Grandpa.
Throughout their forest walk, they see many different things: big,
strong trees with networks of roots growing underneath, still water
with schools of fish swimming below, and an expectant bird with
eggs nestled under her. It's when the pair pass fellow hikers that
Finn realizes that people, just like the elements of nature, are
more than they appear. Grandpa explains that sometimes beneath a
person who seems like they won't understand what you're feeling, is
someone feeling the exact same way. This sweet and tender picture
book celebrates our similarities, differences, and that there's
always more under the surface of what we can see.
