A graphically stunning, first-ever volume of nautical codes for
children This extraordinary visual reference is an introduction to
maritime communication through nautical flags, along with morse
code, the phonetic alphabet, and semaphore signaling. Today's
system of international maritime signal flags was devel-oped in the
19th century, and is still used for communication between ships, or
between ship and shore. Each flag, boldly colored for visual
distinction at sea, stands for a letter as well as a phrase
relevant to seafaring. The resulting code is both beautiful and
functional, inviting readers to code and decode messages of their
own! Created for ages 6-8 years

Race Cars is a children's book about white privilege created to
help parents and educators facilitate tough conversations about
race, privilege and oppression. Written by a clinical social worker
and child therapist with experience in anti-bias training and
edited by a diversity expert, Race Cars tells the story of 2 best
friends, a white car and a black car, that have different
experiences and face different rules while entering the same race.
Filled with bright, attention-grabbing illustrations, a notes and
activities section at the back helps parents, guardians and
teachers further discuss these issues with children. Why is this
book important? As early as 6 months old, a baby's brain can notice
race-based differences; children ages 2 to 4 can internalise racial
bias and start assigning meaning to race; and 5- to 8-year-olds
begin to place value judgments on similarities and differences. By
age 12, children have a complete set of stereotypes about every
racial, ethnic and religious group in society. Our guidance is
especially crucial during this impressionable time. Race Cars
offers a simple, yet powerful, way to introduce these complicated
themes to our children and is a valuable addition to classroom and
home libraries. "... a great tool for helping young people
understand structural racial inequality-and the importance of
challenging it!" - Margaret A. Hagerman, Associate Professor of
Sociology, Author of White Kids: Growing Up with Privilege in a
Racially Divided America "... can jumpstart important conversations
with children about racism, white privilege, and how to fight
racial injustice in their own lives." - Marianne Celano, New York
Times bestselling co-author of Something Happened in Our Town: A
Child's Story About Racial Injustice
In 1831, at only 22 years old, Darwin was offered the position of
Naturalist on HMS Beagle's world voyage. He was set to become a
clergyman but returns after five years at sea an inspired genius.
This book follows the journey of HMS Beagle, showing life on-board
the ship for Darwin, the captain, crew and the expedition's artist.
The reader sees Darwin discovering and observing insect life in
Brazil, fossils in Argentina , earthquakes in Chile and turtles in
the Galapagos Islands. The reader is therefore able to follow the
steps which led to Darwin's inspired theory of evolution, while
also showing the adventures and escapades he had during the voyage.
A fascinating and colourful story of Darwin's life, this book also
introduces young readers to one of the world's most important
scientists and his discoveries. It concludes with a simple
explanation of the theory of evolution. Written by an outstanding
team in the field of children's non-fiction, this is a book to
enlighten and inspire young readers.To watch a video describing

Few books have been as universally cherished by children and adults
alike as The Little Prince. A beautiful gift collection of quotes
from the original translation by Katherine Woods, featuring
full-colour illustrations. A pilot stranded in the desert awakes
one morning to see the most extraordinary little fellow standing
before him. “Please…’ asks the stranger, “draw me a
sheep…’ The Little Prince has been capturing the hearts of
readers around the world since its publication in 1943 – this new
collection of quotes features favourite words of wisdom from
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s lyrical, whimsical text. Quotes are
drawn from the original translation by Katherine Woods, a favourite
with fans. With subjects covering childhood, sorrow, friendship,
love and more, this collection has something for everyone.
Featuring original colour illustrations by the author. Antoine de
Saint-Exupéry (1900-1944) was born in Lyons, France. He wrote The
Little Prince in the United States during a two-year self-imposed
exile from occupied France. A year after the book’s publication
in 1943, Saint-Exupéry disappeared over the Mediterranean while
flying a reconnaissance mission for his French air squadron. Best
known throughout the world as the author and illustrator of The
Little Prince, Saint-Exupéry wrote several other books that have
also become classics of world literature. Katherine Woods
(1886-1968) produced the original English translation of The Little
Prince in 1943. It was later followed by several other English
translations, but her classic translation is treasured by fans and
is often considered to be the definitive English translation. Her
poetic translation perfectly captures the enchantment and charm of
Saint-Exupéry’s storytelling.
