When The Storks Came Home is a charming, fictionalised retelling of
the successful reintroduction of the white stork at the Knepp
Estate, a UK native bird which has been brought back from
extinction. In this second picture book from bestselling author and
globally significant conservationist Isabella Tree, we meet
eight-year-old Beanie, who loves birds. When she discovers that
huge white storks used to live in her own village but were hunted
to extinction in the UK 600 years ago, she is determined to find a
way to bring them back. But reintroducing a vanished species is not
so simple! Storks can fly hundreds of miles, so releasing storks
into the local countryside won't be enough to make them return and
stay for good. With the help of other villagers, Beanie hatches a
plan... Beautiful illustrations help bring this powerful and
important story to life, teaching children about conservation and
their environment in an accessible way. Ivy Kids brings you
beautiful, sustainably printed books to rewild your child, nurture
creativity, and foster a deep connection with the living world.

"When I'm afraid, I breathe in and out and let the feelings come .
. . and then go. Nothing lasts forever." Now the Horse enjoys the
singing of the birds, the chattering of the crickets and all the
wonders of nature. But Rabbit fears being chased by a fox, and Hen
thinks a swooping magpie will catch her chicks. When a thunderstorm
arrives, Now leads her friends to shelter . . . where they soon
discover that not everything is as frightening as it seems. A calm
and reassuring story about overcoming worries and living in the
present moment with beautiful artwork from Alexandra Finkeldey.
In this new series, based on real-life animal tales, discover that
not all heroes wear capes - some have four legs, a wet nose, and a
brave heart. Big or small, fall in love with animal friends who
have lived truly wild lives. Read about Talala, the curious leopard
cub, who lived with lions. When Talala found herself the sole
survivor of her pack in Gir National Park, she began a quest to
find a new family. Talala tried the owl family, but she didn't
understand their language. Then the antelope family, who ate
blossoms - yuck. And then the alligator hatchlings, who didn't play
the same games as Talala at all. Finally, she spied the lion
family... Would Talala be the heart of their pride? Would she find
her fit? This heartwarming story has a fact section at the back, so
you can learn more about big cats and how you can help them.
Adorable illustrations from Alexandra Finkeldey will make you want
to hug the page. Other titles in the series are Onyx, based on the
reintroduction of wolves of Yellowstone Park. Fluffles, the koala
who held strong through a bushfire. And Sterling, the moose who
showed that love has no borders. Immerse yourself and your children
in this touching tale of family, acceptance and finding your own
place, which we can all learn from.
