This funny and light-hearted tale is a delightful, laugh-out-loud
story of friendship, humility and vegetables, which kids of all
ages will love! It's nearly time for the Annual Vegetable Awards
and all the vegetables gather to discuss who deserves to be
nominated. Unassuming Broccoli feels she lives a very normal life
but decides to go along as best friend Carrot - with the amazing
hair - will be there. Broccoli is quiet while the other vegetables
begin to bicker about who is the best. "Easy peasy" chorused the
Pea Pod Possy. "We went skiing through the Wobbly Wild Woods, home
of the white whistling wolves! And only one of us got eaten!".
"Don't be silly", said Tomato, "I went trekking through the..."
"TOMATO! You're not even a vegetable!" Potato protested. "Besides,
I climbed to the top of Vege-Table Mountain!" Slowly it emerges
that Broccoli is actually incredibly brave and kind, and a very
special vegetable. Featuring a grumpy aubergine, an arrogant
potato, and many more veggie characters this amusing tale
highlights how special we all are in our own way.
No one is too small to make a change. Growing up, there is so much
out of our control and to feel frustrated about. But in this
inspiring and practical handbook, bestselling children's author and
Human Rights campaigner, Onjali Rauf, shares her top ten ways for
finding hope, creating change and making a difference. With the
help of her favourite fictional characters and some of the most
inspiring people she has ever met, Onjali invites readers to dive
in and discover everything there is to know about kindness,
empathy, friendship and fighting for the things that matter. (Plus,
cool stuff like X-ray vision and detecting negative forces. Yes!)
Because with a bit of compassion, a big dollop of hope and even the
smallest act of kindness, magical things can happen. Hope is on the
horizon; here's how children everywhere can find it. Parental
guidance recommended: issues related to discrimination, injustice
and prejudice are included.
