A beautifully lyrical and empowering picture book about the
importance of dreaming big, from award-winning author Manjeet Mann
and the exceptionally talented debut illustrator, Amanda Quartey.
Small lived in a small house. She had a small room with a small
window and at night she slept in a small bed with a too small
blanket. Despite being small, Small had BIG dreams. In Small's
world, everything is small - her shoes, her bed, everything. But
her dreams are big. And Small discovers that when you dream big,
anything - and everything - can happen. Small's Big Dream is the
first picture book from Manjeet Mann, with artwork by exciting
debut illustrator Amanda Quartey. Manjeet Mann is the author of the
Costa Children's Book Award winning The Crossing and critically
acclaimed and Carnegie-shortlisted Run, Rebel.
In a secret world above the clouds lives a little unicorn with a
bright, sparkling horn, called Lunicorn. There is just one rule in
this special unicorn world: never let yourself be seen by the
humans who live below. Unicorn magic is secret! But one night,
Lunicorn hears the cries of a little girl who is scared of the
dark. With her brightly glowing horn, Lunicorn knows she can help
by lending a light. But can she persuade her unicorn friends that
her special gift is meant to be shared? Based on the evergreen
rhyme 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star' with a heart-warming message
about spreading kindness and finding your unique way to shine!
In this follow-up to the A Little Bit Different and A Little Bit of
Courage, the Ploofers are back for a heartwarming exploration of

happy and becomes frustrated with the way he is being treated. Will
Little One learn to be assertive and stand up for himself? With
