In Die geheim van die woud lees ’n ma vir haar kinders, Amelie en Roland, elke aand dieselfde storie. Sy vertel van die twee konyntjies, Oortjies en Tongetjie, en ’n woud waar die wolwe vriende is van die konyne en hulle nooit seermaak nie. Soos in elke woud is daar in hierdie verhaal ook ’n wolf. Sy is egter blind en bekommerd dat sy nie na haar welpies sal kan omsien wanneer hulle gebore word nie. Soos die ma die verhaal vertel, word die twee kinders as’t ware Oortjies en Tongetjie en verander die kamer in die magiese woud. Die metafoor van die herstel van die verbond tussen mens en dier word op subtiele en verbeeldingryke manier daardeur verken. Die geheim van die woud is nie ’n verhaal oor bang hasies en wrede wolwe nie, maar ’n verhaal wat vertel van moederliefde, die verbeeldingswereld van ’n kind en die herstel van die ewewig van die natuur.

This magical story follows three children living in a tower block, as they embark on a fantastical adventure which helps them see their home in a new light. A deeply personal story written by multi-award winning poet and Waterstones Children's Laureate Joseph Coelho, drawn from his own experience growing up in a tower block and looking for adventure. This story is a celebration of, and a reclaiming of tower blocks as a place where magic and adventure can happen. It's a modern-day fable that shows the children of a tower block travelling to a strange, magical world inside a tree and meeting an old man with supernatural powers, only to realise that the magic they'd been looking for had been in their tower all along. Beautiful illustrations complement the poetic narrative, creating an enchanting story which children and adults alike will fall in love with. This powerful story is about how society separates 'urban' spaces from the countryside, but the reality is that nature is everywhere, and everyone should have access to it.

_______________ '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.
