happily with old fisherman Tom - Tom who rocks the rocking chair

Storm-Cat comes clawing and snarling and leaping at the harbour
walls, so that no boat can go out to sea to fish. Soon, with
Christmas coming, there is no food left in Mousehole. It is then
that Mowzer and Tom set out to brave the fury of the waves
together, and discover that it might just need a cat's perspective
to understand - and tame - the ferocious ways of the Great
Storm-Cat sea... Gently yet powerfully told, this incredibly moving
story of bravery, sacrifice and companionship inspired by Cornish
legend is sure to connect with readers of all ages, new and old

_______________ 'A very touching and honest story ... Rico and Nick
make a great team!' - Jacqueline Wilson _______________ An
empowering adoption story by eleven-year-old Premier League Young
Writer of the Year Rico Hinson-King, illustrated by the
award-winning Nick Sharratt There is a kid. Let's call him Charlie.
On the outside he looks like every other football-mad boy of his
age. But he isn't ... A story of hope and resilience, this gentle,
inspiring picture book tells the tale of Charlie, a little boy who
was taken into care when he was very small. Charlie dreams of
finding his forever home to share with his sisters. Sometimes he
feels scared. Sometimes he wants to scream and cry (and he does,
just a little). But he is strong. He is tough. Strong and Tough is
by the amazingly talented ten-year-old Rico Hinson-King. Rico, like
Charlie, found strength and resilience along the journey to find
his forever family (and played lots of football along the way!).
Rico is a Junior Premier League footballer with a knack for words
too, who wrote his story so that other children going through
similar circumstances can feel less alone, and to encourage empathy
in others. His moving and powerful words are paired with warm,
friendly illustrations by the award-winning Nick Sharratt, who
famously illustrated many of Jacqueline Wilson's books including
the Tracy Beaker series.
Meet turtles, sharks, dolphins and more as you explore the ocean. Each sturdy pages is uniquely shaped, great for curious little hands. The layering of the pages gives a hint of what is to come, keeping very young readers engaged as they guess which animals they might see when they turn each page.

"Long ago, when giants lived in Scotland and Ireland, they stood so
tall they could see clearly across the wide water between the two
lands." One day, Irish giant Finn McCool spots Scottish giant
Benandonner across the sea and they immediately begin arguing about
who is the best giant of all. Despite the wise advice of Finn's
wife Oona, they decide the only way to settle their feud is to
fight. But to meet, the daft and boastful giants must first build a
causeway across the water... Inspired by Celtic folklore,
best-selling Scottish children's author and storyteller Lari Don
weaves a tall tale of rivalry and foolishness that recounts the
origins of Northern Ireland's world-famous Giant's Causeway and its
connection to Scotland's Isle of Staffa. Emilie Gill's
light-hearted, characterful illustrations of the legendary giants
will captivate young children.
