Frogs Are Our Friends is the much-anticipated follow-up to Bees Are Our Friends and Worms Are Our Friends from Australian author Toni D’Alia. Down in the garden, away from the sun, a little green frog is having some fun! ‘Our Friends in the Garden’ is a Bright Light series that invites our youngest readers into the garden to explore the important role bugs, insects and other critters play in our eco-system. Each book in the series showcases the art of a different Australian illustrator: this time newcomer Madeline White takes the reins. FROGS ARE ESSENTIAL!: They reduce mosquito numbers, helping to limit the spread of disease, and they also control pests and much more.

As a young child, Lena Darlin's alcoholic father beat every ounce of self-worth and dignity out of her. After he moved cross-country, Lena was left, torn and broken to pick up the pieces. With the help of her modernized prince charming and struggling mother, Lena manages to hold herself together. When her father returns, threatening to destroy the progress she made, Lena is forced back into the life she thought she abandoned years ago. An inspiring tale of betrayal and love, pain and regret, Silly Angel takes us on the journey of a sixteen-year-old girl as she struggles to balance her own happiness with the happiness of those around her.
