Life-affirming and lyrical, this beautiful picture book celebrates
the awesome power of nature, while gently introducing young
children to the concept of life and death. Over the course of a
year, a young child and their dog watch kingfishers by the river
with Grandpa. As spring turns to summer and autumn to winter, the
kingfishers raise a family, while Grandpa teaches his grandchild
about the power of nature and the circle of life. Written in memory
of her father, whose favourite bird was the kingfisher, Anna Wilson
takes readers on a lyrical journey though a year in the life of a
kingfisher family. Stunning illustrations by Sarah Massini bring
the riverbank to life in all its glory, while the powerful
intergenerational bond between grandparent and grandchild shows
that just as spring always follows winter, hope will always return
if you know where to look for it. A positive story about life,
death, and being a part of the natural world.

This is the fifth and final book in the 'Hugo and Daddy' series and
it marks a major milestone for author Ric Hart who started the
series following the birth of his son Hugo, shortly followed by the
sad death of Hugo's mummy Jade. This episode sees Hugo starting
primary school and Ric could not be prouder... "To see Hugo
starting primary school felt like a million miles away four years
ago, but I did it, I got here, and I'm proud of every step." The
book shares the journey of Daddy taking Hugo to school for his
first day at primary school and sees them turning what can be quite
an overwhelming experience for children into something to embrace
with confidence. Ric sees the books as a way of turning negative
trauma into positive magic for Hugo, and hopes that, when he grows
older, Hugo will see how Daddy turned those tragic years into
something beautiful for him. Ric says: "I hope you enjoy our latest
and final adventure. Who knows what the future will bring, but I'm
embracing it with love, joy and inner peace with our wonderful boy
Hugo Jaden Hart."
