Discover a pangolin at dusk, fly on the bat’s back, visit a lion
and hear about his plight; try the moth alphabet tongue-twister,
meet fighting Tazzies on a night out in Tasmania or dream about the
five-legged dog and three-legged cat! Then find out about real,
huge Titanosaurus and amazing Coelacanths. You might spot a
kingfisher, that ‘small glint of wonder’, and see how ‘wild
reclaims the world’ in the urban night-time. These beautiful
poems are perfectly melded with Petr Horáček’s gorgeous,
glowing paintings and the combination is extraordinary –
passionate, playful, thoughtful and exciting. Like the goldfinch in
the final poem, this wonderful book will ‘set the heart free and
flying’.

Who you are if you’ve never seen another face like yours? Where
do you belong if you don’t know where your home is? What do you
call yourself when others call you ‘freak'...? Skrimsli is a
second fantasy adventure from author Nicola Davies, set in a world
where animals and humans can sometimes share their thoughts. It
traces the early life of Skrimsli, the tiger sea captain who stole
readers’ hearts in The Song that Sings Us. He and his friends,
Owl and Kal, must first escape the clutches of tyrannical circus
owner Kobret Majak and his twin assassin-acrobats, then stop a war
and save an ancient forest! Skrimsli and his friends are helped by
desert princess the Palatine and her eagle, a chihuahua who thinks
she’s a wolf, a horse with heart of gold and the crew of a very
unusual ship. This is a story full of excitement and danger, that
explores themes of friendship, loyalty, identity and love, in the
context of some of humanity’s toughest problems.

An ultimately inspiring story of how giraffes have dealt with
modern climate change, beautifully told and illustrated – and
marking the launch of an exciting new series. Once, this season of
rains was the season of giraffes... In this powerful picture-book,
bestselling children's author Nicola Davies writes in collaboration
with conservationist Kisilu Musya to explain how one of the world's
best-loved animals has dealt with the challenges of climate change.
Giraffes were once a part of daily life in Niger – but after
severe droughts one year, when the rains eventually return, the
giraffes are nowhere to be seen. However, as award-winning artist
Emily Sutton's magnificent illustrations capture, The Beauty of
Giraffes ultimately has a hopeful, celebratory story to share ...
and an important point to make about how human beings can change
for the better. "Nicola Davies is one of the best children's
writers in the business." Huffington Post "Emily Sutton is one of
our greatest children's illustrators." The Times

When you were born, a song began... So begins this lyrical and
unique non-fiction picture book by award-winning children's author
Nicola Davies. With tenderness and a good deal of heart, Nicola
introduces young readers to the universal rights that every child
is entitled to under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of
the Child. Using the metaphor of song, the book opens with the
arrival of a newborn and its unique 'song', then pans out to
explore all the essential things that every song needs to thrive -
love, protection, a home, a name, the chance to explore and learn.
In the latter half of the book, the issues of child labour,
exploitation and war are sensitively introduced to emphasise that
we all must play our part in championing children's rights and
offering support to those who need it most. With beautiful and
deeply moving watercolour illustrations by award-winning artist
Marc Martin, this is a book that encourages children, and the
adults in their lives, to speak up for young people all around the
world, and to treat one another with compassion and kindness.

ourselves amidst the elements and throughout the seasons. Nicola
