It's 1953, just days from the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, and
Penny Black can't get into the summer holiday spirit. Not when
she's about to move to Scotland – and away from everything she
knows – for good. But when Wishyouwas plops into the fireplace in
a cloud of soot and chaos, with a summons from the Royal
Postmistress herself, all of Penny's plans suddenly go up in smoke.
The intrepid pair are soon on the trail of a mysterious traitor and
a potentially deadly plot to halt the coronation. Their
investigation will take them across London's busy streets, high up
in the air and deeper into danger than they've ever been before …
A mindfulness storybook that weaves calming actions into a magical
story, showing young children ways to soothe their own worries.
From the creators of The Fire Fox, Alexandra Page and Stef Murphy,
shortlisted for Oscar's Book Prize 2022. It's show-and-tell
tomorrow and Rory is anxious - he doesn't have anything special to
share with the class. But everything changes when Rory meets his
very own worry tiger. "Try this," said the tiger. "See how quiet
you can be. Tiptoe like a tiger and tell me what you see."
Breathing deep to smell the jungle scents. Stretching to join the
monkeys high up in the trees. Listening carefully to the creatures
all around. This enchanting story is full of mindfulness actions
that anyone can take to feel calm. The Worry Tiger is a gorgeously
illustrated book with a gentle rhyme that's a joy to read aloud and
will help children relax and speak about what might be feeding
their anxiety. Includes a set of fun and easy mindfulness exercises
at the back of the book.
Classic-feeling storytelling with bags of charm. Fans of thrilling
animal adventure and enchanting underground worlds will fall in
love with Wishyouwas. It's 1952 in smog-shrouded London. Christmas
might be fast approaching, but with her mum away and Uncle Frank
busy running the post office, Penny Black is lonelier than ever.
All that changes when Penny discovers a small, fluffy, funny,
springy and - most importantly - talking creature in the post
office one night, trying to make off with a letter. But Wishyouwas
is no thief. He's a Sorter, and he soon introduces Penny to a
fascinating secret world hidden in the tunnels underneath the
city's streets. Self-appointed guardians of lost mail, the Sorters
have dedicated their lives to rescuing letters that have gone
astray and making sure they get delivered to their rightful owners.
Penny is determined to protect the Sorters, but how long will she
be able to keep them safe with Stanley Scrawl, the sinister Royal
Mail Rat Catcher, on the prowl? Can Penny save the Sorters and
deliver a joyful Christmas?

Lights. The Fire Fox is a gloriously illustrated, beautifully

dimmed, written by debut author Alexandra Page and illustrated by
the exciting talent Stef Murphy. This enchanting picture book with
