When the Mountain Wakes
Somewhere, towards the beginning of time, a mountain rose from the ocean and came to rest above the clouds. Life sang a lullaby, and the mountain slept for many millions of years. Until one day, when the world became too silent for sleep, the mountain went searching for a song.
Told as a graphic novel in picture book form, When the Mountain Wakes is an environmental cautionary tale wrapped in hope. Matt Shanks personifies a gentle, lonely mountain who wakes to find an arid, silent wasteland — and goes looking for beauty and possibility. The writing is simple and profound, and the stunning page compositions bring the story vividly to life.
How to Speak and Be Heard
veryone talks and thinks differently — and that's a good thing. This illustrated guide, created in collaboration with oracy charity the English Speaking Union, gives children the tools to speak confidently in a way that works for them. But it's not just about public speaking and debates: oracy means listening to others, researching facts, working as a team, and understanding your own needs and the needs of those around you.
Packed with short blocks of text, speech bubbles, infographics, and activities, the book covers everything from body language and active listening to organising ideas and dealing with nerves. Positive, encouraging, and inclusive, it's a practical toolkit for children finding their voice.
Ten Little Rabbits
Mino the Magician stands proudly beside his podium, waves his wand, and — poof — out pops a rabbit. Then another. And another. By the fourth rabbit, Mino yawns. By the sixth, he's annoyed. By the tenth, he's completely buried in bunnies. "So then — he made them vanish again!" And one by one, the rabbits disappear, counting all the way back down to none.
This never-before-published treasure from the legendary creator of Where the Wild Things Are is a mostly wordless, gently hilarious counting book with pure Sendak whimsy — and a quietly reassuring story about losing control, getting overwhelmed, and setting yourself to rights again.
Meet the Mubbles
Welcome to the Isle of Smile, where the colourful, fun-loving Mubbles — Bash, Dash, Cheery and the gang — live in perfect harmony alongside the Wibbles of Wobble Mountain, the singing Earworms, and the one-eyed Drib Drabs. When the Clouds of Joy bump together and make a wonky rainbow, it means one thing: someone or something is coming to visit.
This time, the mysterious Uncertain Curtain delivers a very odd... ball. The Mubbles aren't sure what to do with it — but one thing's for certain: they definitely shouldn't press the button that says "Don't Touch." From the creator of the multimillion-selling Tom Gates series, this full-colour graphic novel is bursting with anarchic humour, vibrant illustrations, and a gentle message about teamwork and being fabulously yourself.
