This uplifting picture book showcases the amazing work our
frontline staff do, the incredible skills they have and the
important equipment they need to save a life, in a unique graphic
novel-inspired non-fiction format. With a foreword by British
celebrity Dr Zoe Williams.
In this vibrant bouncy new collection Debra focuses on poetry for
younger children (Key stage 1 & 2). It’s a wonderful
collection of reflective and soothing poems, poems for performance,
rhyming poems, silly poems, puzzle poems and ‘carpet’ poems.
Debra says: ‘Writing The Moon’s Gorgonzola has been a joy.
I’m a great believer in poetry for (especially) younger children
being accessible with language they can understand and topics they
can relate to. I wanted the book to have a great sense of fun to
light the poetry spark that is in all of us! It is a poetry book to
be used in school and at home. I write about everyday life and the
strange, funny, sometimes sad things that can happen in school and
at home. However, it has come with its challenges and a feeling of
responsibility to ‘get it right.’ Pitching the content and
language at just the right level for each Year group was very
important’.
Parenting in the modern world is an overwhelming concept. It seems
to divide everyone from psychologists and politicians to scientists
and salesmen, leaving the parents themselves with a terrible
headache as a result. How can anyone live up to such expansive and
conflicting expectations? As Zoe Williams explores, the madness
begins before the baby has even arrived: hysteria is rife
surrounding everything from drinking alcohol and eating cheese to
using a new frying pan. And it only gets worse. The list of things
you need to consider (as well as the things you never realised you
needed to consider) is ever-increasing, and questions of
breastfeeding, buggies, staying at home, schooling - and what your
mother-in-law thinks you're doing wrong - take over completely. The
task of raising a child has been turned into a circus of ludicrous
proportions. Combining laugh-out-loud tales of parenthood with
myth-busting facts and figures, Zoe provides the antithesis of all
parenting discussions to date. After all, parents managed perfectly
well for centuries before this modern madness, so why do today's
mothers and fathers make such an almighty fuss about everything?
Provocations is a groundbreaking new series of short polemics
composed by some of the most intriguing voices in contemporary
culture and edited by Yasmin Alibhai-Brown. Sharp, intelligent and
controversial, Provocations provides insightful contributions to
the most vital discussions in society today.
