Emma can't wait for Christmas -- the tree, the presents, the tasty turkey dinner! Her dad and stepmum Susan want Christmas to be perfect, but things aren’t going to plan -- and then their turkey disappears! Will Christmas be ruined? As Emma encourages her parents to appreciate what they have, their neighbours -- the Taylor-Wilsons, the Singhs and Mrs Angel -- come knocking to share their own festive traditions and help the family have a very merry Christmas. One Christmas in Our Building is a unique and heart-warming picture book about community spirit and the true meaning of the festive season. Johanna Lindemann beautifully, and amusingly, captures a child's perspective on Christmas, and Andrea Stegmaier's illustrations are lively, textured and full of fun details to spot.

In the brown house, Claire and Wes were home. But home turned to nowhere and nowhere turned to anywhere. Then somewhere finally came, and finally, always. This lyrical story is timely and thoughtful, depicting the life of two children thrust into homelessness and uncertain housing situations as they move out of their house, to a motel, to a shelter, and finally another more permanent home. Throughout, the duo is challenged by uncomfortable new places and inquiries from strangers, but ultimately, never lose their optimism or determination. They have each other, no matter at home, nowhere, anywhere, or somewhere-always. Includes a poignant Reader's Note on how homelessness affects children and what we can do to help.

BEWARE the Blue Bagoo! Join in with the detective who is on the trail of a mysterious blue creature in this fun picture book! A detective tries to uncover the truth about the infamous 'Blue Bagoo' - a creature so big and scary that it can't possibly be made up, can it? Our detective addresses us - the reader - on the very first page, and then walks the winding cobbled streets of a Dr Suess-esque seaside town, taking statements from the residents. The Blue Bagoo proves elusive, but rumours of its 'supposed' qualities have spread throughout the town. However, as the investigation proceeds, there is a critical twist.... This is a tale of rumours and fears, that also teaches us a gentle lesson about jumping to conclusions and judging others!

Though he's scared at first, a boy who encounters an alligator in the woods soon realises that all the alligator wants is companionship - and leftovers - and the two become good friends. But the mayor of the boy's town simply won't allow it. The townspeople agree with the mayor. At first. But once they see how kind and helpful the alligator is (and how nice it is to have someone to eat all their leftovers!), they decide the alligator should be allowed to stay. They help the alligator avoid the mayor, for a while. But it's becoming harder to find a place for him to hide. Can they all come together and find a way to keep the alligator in their town?
