In a world built for Perfect Pets, Barnabus is a Failed Project,
half mouse, half elephant, kept out of sight until his dreams of
freedom lead him and his misfit friends on a perilous adventure. A
stunning picture book from international bestsellers The Fan
Brothers, joined by their brother Devin Fan. Deep underground
beneath Perfect Pets, where children can buy genetically engineered
"perfect" creatures, there is a secret lab. Barnabus and his
friends live in this lab, but none of them are perfect. They are
all Failed Projects. Barnabus has never been outside his tiny bell
jar, yet he dreams of one day seeing the world above ground that
his pal Pip the cockroach has told him about: a world with green
hills and trees, and buildings that reach all the way to the sky,
lit with their own stars. But Barnabus may have to reach the
outside world sooner than he thought, because the Green Rubber
Suits are about to recycle all Failed Projects . . . and Barnabus
doesn't want to be made into a fluffier pet with bigger eyes. He
just wants to be himself. So he decides it's time for he and the
others to escape. With his little trunk and a lot of cooperation
and courage, Barnabus sets out to find freedom - and a place where
he and his friends can finally be accepted for who they are. This
suspenseful, poignant and magical story about following your dreams
and finding where you truly belong will draw readers into a
surreal, lushly detailed world in which perfection really means
being true to yourself and your friends. 'A stately, cathartic
morality tale about freeing oneself from the tyranny of wanting to
be perfect.' -The Financial Times 'ingeniously imaginative' -

diversity, bravery, and solidarity.'- Kirkus

A delectable picture book about midnight snacks, nocturnal
creatures and unexpected generosity, inspired by lunch carts that
were the predecessors of today’s food trucks and diners. For fans
of It Fell from the Sky and Lizzy and the Cloud. Noses sniff
the air as mouthwatering smells waft down city streets, luring
growling bellies to the Night Owl. Inside this elegant, horse-drawn
establishment, a feathery cook works the grill, serving up tasty
dishes for shift-workers and operagoers alike: a mince pie for Fox,
a ham sandwich for Badger and puddings for little Possums. Mouse, a
poor street sweeper, watches as the line of customers swells, ever
hopeful that someone will drop a morsel of food — but Owl’s
cooking is far too delicious for more than a crumb to be found. As
the evening’s service winds down, weary Owl spots trembling
Mouse. Has he found his own night lunch, or will he invite this
small sweeper inside for a midnight feast for two? Â From the
imagination of two acclaimed picture book creators, together for
the first time, this dreamlike picture book is a magical ode to
Victorian lunch wagons. Evoking the sounds, sights, smells and
tastes of the city at night, Night Lunch reveals how
empathy and kindness as well as dignity and gratitude can be found
— and savoured — in the most unexpected places.
To escape her cruel, angry father – and discover the truth about her late mother’s past – 14-year old Lily Owens flees with her caregiver and friend Rosaleen to a South Carolina town where she’s taken in by the bee-keeping Boatwright sisters.
Surrounded by the unexpected love, grace and spirituality she encounters there, Lily forms a bond with each of these uniquely gifted women and discovers that sometimes you must leave home in order to find it.
From the creators of The Night Gardener, comes a stunning new
picture book about a young boy who sets sail to find a place his

lives by him. Every time he looks out his window it's a constant
reminder of the stories his grandfather told him about the place
where the ocean meets the sky. Where whales and jellyfish soar and
birds and castles float. Finn's grandfather is gone now but Finn
knows the perfect way to honor him. He'll build his own ship and
sail out to find this magical place himself! And when he arrives,
maybe, just maybe, he'll find something he didn't know he was
looking for.

With a down-to-earth and practical approach that is both refreshing
and inspiring, this revised edition of The South African labour
market contains an abundance of information about labour markets in
general, as well as the South African labour market in particular.
It successfully fills a serious void in comprehensive, objective
literature on this topic. The labour market and labour policies are
in constant flux, with the result that fairly substantial changes
have been made to ensure that this revised edition is positioned
squarely in the middle of labour debates currently raging in South
Africa. A chapter is specially dedicated to collective bargaining
and the impact of unions on the labour market. It also covers
strike action in South Africa and looks at the controversy
surrounding bargaining councils. Labour market flexibility has
become an important public focal point with the ANC publishing some
important position papers on the matter and notable international
organisations also referring to it in the context of South Africa's
labour markets. This is part of the broader debate on ways to
increase productivity. Formal employment is said to have increased
substantially since the advent of democracy. The book considers the
evidence of this and comes to some disturbing conclusions about the
sensitivity of employment to economic growth. The book deals
extensively with the impact of globalisation on the labour market
and how other countries have managed the challenges of
globalisation. Other topics include affirmative action in South
Africa compared to Malaysia, and whether consensus-seeking
institutions such as Nedlac still have a role to play. The book is
generally accessible, but without sacrificing the firm academic
foundation required to understand the operation of labour markets.
All in all, this book is a mine of information, set out in a
user-friendly manner, so that even the uninitiated will be able to
understand the issues at hand. The content provides the reader with
more than sufficient material for intelligent participation in
debates and decisions regarding the labour market. Contents include
the following: Unique characteristics of the labour market; The
impact of HIV and Aids; Employment in the formal and informal
sectors; Wages and the cost of labour; Addressing the challenges of
globalisation; Unemployment in South Africa; Human capital and the
demand for skilled workers; Inequalities and discrimination.
