This little frog is up with a hop and ready to spend the day swimming, making cakes and playing hide-and-seek, and all of it just with Mum. With its gently rhyming text and beautifully bold illustrations, this is the perfect preschool book to share with any toddler and an ideal Mother's Day gift.
Based on the author's relationship with her young daughter, this bright, fresh board book is the perfect size for little hands, small enough to take with you on your own day out, or snuggle up with at the end of a busy day. A beautiful book about a special bond, and the joy of spending the day with someone you love.
Mummy and Me forms a perfect pair with Katherina Manolessou's first picture book, Zoom Zoom Zoom, also available as a board book.
An intensely romantic and haunting novel about how love can overcome the ultimate divide - from Liz Kessler, the bestselling author of Read Me Like a Book.
Joe wakes up from a deep sleep to see his family leave in a removals van. Where they've gone, he has no idea. Erin moves house and instantly feels at home in her new room. Even if it appears she isn't the only one living in it. Bit by bit, Erin and Joe discover that they have somehow found a way across the ultimate divide - life and death. Bound by their backgrounds, a love of poetry and their growing feelings for each other, they are determined to find a way to be together.
Joe's brother, Olly, never cared much for poetry. He was always too busy being king of the school - but that all changed when Joe died. And when an encounter in the school corridor brings him face to face with Erin, he realises how different things really are - including the kind of girl he falls for.
Two brothers. Two choices. Will Erin's decision destroy her completely, or can she save herself before she is lost forever?

Then Lizzie comes up with a madcap plan. She's going to take Wai Gong on the trip of a lifetime, to Blackpool - to the Tower Ballroom, where he always longed to go, to dance with his late wife Grandma Kam. To rekindle that love for dancing and to see if Wai Gong can find his mojo again. The only problem is - just how on earth is she going to get him there?
