love, to help children understand their emotions. Everyone loves
everyone in Tess's house, but when Tess has to leave for school for
the very first time, she is worried that her family's love might
not stretch that far. Mum explains that love is like a string, it
connects people together even when they are far away. At school
Tess notices that all the children have strings! Some are new, some
are old, some stretch a long way, and some even stretch right up
into the sky. But what happens when a string breaks? Love is the
third in a trio of feel-good picture books from author Corrinne
Averiss (Joy (2018), Hope (2019)) - a pure delight from start to
finish. A wonderful story that subtly tackles difficult topics of
death, grief, separation and overcoming anxiety.

A little polar bear, Miki, wanders away while his mother is diving
for fish. He sees a dot in the snow and rushes towards it. Readers
discover that the dot is a little girl. But Miki has never seen a
human before and the little girl has never seen a polar bear. They
discover more about each other as they play in the snow but then
the perils of the polar landscape impel Miki to take the little
girl home before undertaking the long journey to find his own
mother. Although one is a polar bear and one is a little girl, Miki
and Dot share a common experience: they are both separated from
their mothers when they meet. Their bond of friendship gives them
the strength to support each other during the course of a day that
will last with them both forever. This is a moving and poignant
story set in a changing and challenging polar landscape, perfect
for the Christmas season. It wraps up important themes about
empathy, kindness, and courage. The story is both simply told and
affecting. The gorgeous snowscapes, full of real atmosphere, are
created with printmaking techniques by debut illustrator Fiona

Being on the wrong side of the valley doesn't matter if you have
the right kind of friends. Mountain had never seen the sun rise.
Each morning, the hills around him were washed with a warm glow -
sometimes pink, sometimes orange. But the sun always rose behind
his rocky back. So, one morning, Bird and Bear put on an ingenious
and spectacular show that allows Mountain to experience the sunrise
for the very first time. This imaginative celebration of friendship
encourages creativity and kindness.

poor you are, from the creator of classic bestseller Badger's
