Noah and Mia live far, far away from each other, but look out upon
the same great sea. In the evening, Noah and his dog Gus watch the
sun softly slip beneath the waves; in the morning, Mia and her cat
Olive watch from the cliffs as it rises. When Gus dies, Noah is
heartbroken. In his dreams he searches for his loyal friend, but
instead finds only an unfamiliar black cat. Mia dreams too: of a
life better than the one she has now, and of a place to call home.
When Olive leads her down an unknown path, Mia begins an epic
journey which takes her somewhere she never expected. Will Mia and
Noah find all they've dreamt of? Poignant and uplifting, Martin
Widmark's story of finding hope and a home is accompanied by
stunning illustrations from Emilia Dziubak, which alternate between
the two characters' interconnected journeys. Martin and Emilia are
co-creators of USBBY Outstanding International Book The House of
Lost and Found, and of Little Pearl.
Niles lives all alone in a big dirty house filled with memories of
the people who used to live there. Then one day, a little boy
appears on his doorstep and asks Niles to take care of his plant.
Astonished, Niles takes the pot of dirt, and wonders what to do
with it. As a seedling appears, Niles realises how empty and lonely
his house is and begins to care for the plant, his house and
himself. By the time the little boy returns his flower has bloomed
into a beautiful poppy and Niles, and his house, are filled with
hope again. This beautiful and uplifting story of loss and hope by
Martin Widmark is accompanied by stunning, atmospheric
illustrations by Emilia Dziubak, which capture Niles's journey from
loneliness to friendship.

Grace's brother has disappeared and she misses him, and his music,
terribly. One day, she finds herself falling, falling... and wakes
up in a strange land where she is as tiny as a bug. Exploring this
amazing world, filled with incredible creatures, Grace feels
happier than she has done for a long time. But then she is captured
by an evil crab and forced to dive for pearls. Beneath the water
Grace hears a familiar tune: could it be her brother? And if so,
how can they escape this dreamlike land? This intriguing, beautiful
tale of wonder and sibling love has echoes of Alice in Wonderland
in its surreal, atmospheric setting. Martin Widmark's vivid story
is brought to life for young children through spectacularly
imaginative illustrations by Emilia Dziubak. Martin and Emilia are
also the creators of The House of Lost and Found, named a USBBY
Best International Book 2019.
