From the creators of The Boy Who Tried to Shrink His Name, winner
of the 2022 Children's Book Council of Australia's Award for New
Illustrator Amma's Sari is a powerful reflection on connection with
family, the acceptance of difference, and the celebration of
cultural heritage. As a second-generation migrant, 6-year-old
Shreya's life tilts between her life at home and the outside world.
While her love for family lifts her up, her spirits plummet at the
stares and whispers that her mother's sari attracts. Searching for
balance, Shreya asks questions about her culture. Despite the
beautiful stories her mother shares, Shreya's internal and external
struggle continues. But when Shreya finds herself lost in a crowd,
it's the shimmer of Amma's sari that leads her to finding pride in
her difference. Perfect for ages 3 and up.

Stay for Dinner is a powerful story that celebrates culture and
connection through food, from the creators of The Boy Who Tried to
Shrink His Name, winner of the 2022 Children's Book Council of
Australia's Award for New Illustrator. Reshma loves dinnertime with
her family. Her family eat with their hands – not just finger
food type–eating, but hands-on squishy eating. When she’s
invited to stay for dinner at her friends’ places, she finds out
that they all eat in different ways. Some go ting ting with their
cutlery, and others go click clack with their chopsticks. So what
will her friends say when they see her family eat with their hands?
For ages 3 and up.
Winner of the 2022 Children's Book Council of Australia's Award for
New Illustrator The Boy Who Tried to Shrink His Name is a warm and
uplifting story that encourages young readers to celebrate their
individuality, and shows how no-one should ever have to shrink
themselves down to fit in. When Zimdalamishkermishkada starts a new
school, he knows he's got to do something about his long name. When
no amount of shrinking, folding or crumpling works, he simply
settles for Zim - but deep down, it doesn't feel right. It's not
until a new friend sees him for who he truly is that
Zimdalamishkermishkada finds the confidence to step boldly into his
long name. For ages 3 and up.
