From the creator of the iconic Penguin comes a truly humorous and empathetic look at everyday family life that also celebrates the importance and the dignity of a child's inner world. Every morning, all across the globe, children are being asked to put their shoes on. And, every morning, across the globe ... no children are putting shoes on their feet, including Josh. Mummy is desperate for Josh to put his shoes on - they have Aunty Nelly's party to go to! His cousins Tobias and Clementine will be there! (With their best shoes on.) While she asks nicely, cajoles, and eventually shouts (a bit), what she can't see is that Josh is actually VERY BUSY: he is completely lost in his own imaginative landscape inhabited by wild and wonderful creatures, made from real children's drawings by Polly Dunbar's son. In his own head, Josh is indeed putting shoes on ... just not on his own feet. Cleverly fusing together two unique art styles, Polly connects us to the inner life of a child and all the little worries and distractions they wrestle with as soon as they know they have to leave home. In the end, she asks for a little more patience and love ... for both parent and child.

"Grandad was good, these were our pebbles." With sweets stuffed in their pockets, a boy and his grandad take the trip down to the beach: through the wonky woods, across the railway track - stopping for a chat with the spotty dogs! - over the stile, and there ... peeking out beyond the dunes, the sea and "their" beach. They pick pebbles, wash them clean in the waves and paint their memories from the day, placing them in a special place - a secret place. Jarvis captures the kind of golden childhood memory that you carry with you, as comforting as holding a warm, smooth pebble in your hand. And when life changes, and people change, these pebbles stay with you always.

An empowering and reassuring celebration of individuality and heritage told with heart, emotion and evocative illustrations. Ameena can't wait for her aunty's wedding.

But when someone comments on her "pyjamas", she loses all confidence, fearing that her friends might not accept her traditional clothing. Through courage, familial love and self-belief, Ameena discovers what it means to take pride in the beautiful layers of her cultural heritage in this authentic and sensitively told story from Sophia Payne and award-winning illustrator Ruchi Mhasane.

The third lyrical picture book collaboration from the dreamy creative team behind Mum, Me and the Mulberry Tree and Grandpa Is Here, who, once more, capture the authenticity and the magic of every day family life. A little girl is woken up by her father and, together, they tip-toe bare foot outside, stepping into the cool night-time garden. They wait to see it - their snuffling, shuffling nocturnal visitor. And what a treat to behold not just ONE hedgehog, but a mummy and her three adorable little, prickly babies, coming for a little sip of water before they mosey onwards, down the hedgehog highway. Based on the author's own childhood memories, The Night of the Hedgehog is as tender and sweet a father-daughter book as you can get and will hopefully inspire a whole new generation of keen hedgehog spotters.

On a crisp November day, about two weeks before Thanksgiving, two majestic white turkeys unexpectedly appeared at our home, nestled in a residential neighbourhood by a serene lake. Standing at the top of our driveway, they looked bewildered yet curiously approachable. We soon realised their remarkable friendliness, as they attempted to wander into our garage. We provided them with nuts and berries, and for the night, offered them shelter in our greenhouse. Affectionately, we named them Thelma and Louise.Over the next few months, these charming birds became a part of our lives, until we found them a loving, permanent home at a rescue ranch. Their origins remained a mystery, as there were no turkey farms in proximity, leaving us to wonder about the incredible journey they must have embarked on to find us.This heartwarming tale, inspired by true events, follows the adventures of Thelma and Louise, two turkeys who escape from a farm before Thanksgiving.
