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.

This wonderful tale transports Mina to Kyoto, Japan, an entirely
new and different cultural landscape, where she encounters the
magic of origami and an older magic, too. She accepts an origami
paper boat from a woman on the bus. 'Ko-ni-chi-wa,' says the woman,
'Take it.' And then, 'Float it.' Mina watches as the woman's
fingers fold another elaborate paper form: creased, tugged and
teased into the shape of a paper bird. She imagines what it would
be like to be a sheet of paper in the woman's hands, to become a
paper Mina. The crowds around her disappear and Kyoto is gone. This
is a beautiful story from one of the masters of magical realism,
David Almond, with stunning illustrations from Kirsti Beautyman.
"Spell-binding... impossible to resist... breathless, intoxicating
prose. [Almond's] books seem to exist in their own otherworldly
universe, outside all the trends in modern publishing, yet
resolutely of the now." The Glasgow Herald "David Almond's books
are strange, unsettling wild things - unfettered by the normal
constraints of children's literature. They are, like all great
literature, beyond classification." The Guardian "[David Almond] is
that rare thing - a writer of lucid, mature elegance, who can still
see the world through adolescent eyes." The Daily Telegraph "A
writer of visionary Blakean intensity." The Times "A master
storyteller." The Independent

A stunning new story from the bestselling, prize-winning David
Almond, unfolding the magic of the everyday. Mina, from the

discovers the wonders of the world around her. Kyoto, Japan. Mina

of the everyday, on a journey with one of the world's best-loved
authors - with stunning illustrations from Kirsti Beautyman in
black and orange throughout. 'A master storyteller.' Independent
