In this book from the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy
bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the
inspiring true story of Yoko Ono, the artist. When Yoko was little,
she had everything she could dream of in Japan, except time with
her busy parents. She used to write wishes and tie them to the
branches of the trees in the local temple to be less alone. When
war broke out, Yoko was often hungry and had to use her imagination
to transport her. After the war, she made her way to New York to
meet free spirits and study art. She worked as artist, and hosted
gatherings with her trailblazing friends, and then one day, John
Lennon came to see her work. And together, they imagined a better
world. This inspiring book features stylish and quirky
illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical
timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the
climate artist's life. Little People, BIG DREAMS is a bestselling

Books make good pets and don't need going to the vet. You don't
have to keep them on a lead or throw them a stick. They'll wag
their words whenever you flick their dog-eared pages. Even howl an
ancient tale for the inward-listening ear. Did you know that a book
can take you anywhere? You only need to turn the pages of a story,
and in a moment, you and your book could be crossing the waves in a
pirate ship... or diving with mermaids... or even snoozing with a
dragon. Books really DO make good pets! Why don't you peep inside
this one, and take your mind on an adventure? This delightful
original picture book poem is the perfect gift for anyone who
delights in the magic of a good book. Agard's evocative, lyrical
style is perfectly complemented with illustrations by Momoko Abe,
whose colourful visuals add character, transporting the reader into
an enchanting world of imagination.

Everyone knows how a day goes. The sun rises and shines above us
with his glorious smile. At the end of the day, he disappears over
the horizon. But what people don't know is what the sun gets up to
after he goes home . . . The sun loves to make people happy. But
beneath his glorious smile, he doesn't always feel so shiny. At the
end of the day, when the sun goes home, he sometimes feels a little
lonely. The sun believes he has no choice but to carry on shining,
no matter what ... until one day, disaster strikes. He finds
himself falling from the sky! Will anyone hear his call and come to
help him? A problem shared is a problem halved in this warm and
original bedtime story about friendship, emotions and kindness.
