To this day, my eldest girls still cry out the mantra, ‘I’m a girl! I’m fantastic! I’m strong, brave and proud!’ This empowering book showcases girls engaging in diverse activities, from climbing mountains to leading nations. Its rhythmic prose and inclusive illustrations inspire young readers to pursue their dreams, reinforcing the message that gender will never dictate, or indeed restrict, your capabilities.

This is a delightful first mystery for young readers. Priya lives above the corner shop that her parents run. One day, as she is helping her mum set up in the shop, Priya notices paw prints. This is the perfect opportunity to get out her mission kit and investigate. She looks for clues, follows the trail and gets help from a regular customer.

‘Priya Mistry and the Paw Prints Puzzle’ is a lovely book which shows readers that determination and perseverance really do pay off. With colourful illustrations by Ali Pye that will delight and captivate readers, this book is sure to be a favourite with many.

A funny and moving story about how a little girl copes with change after her parents separate.

When Dad says that he’s moving out, Lily-May feels all upside-down inside. But now Dad comes on Sundays, and they ride their bikes really fast and make secret dens together. Lily-May plays more just with Mum now, too – and when Mum’s new partner Peter comes over, they play pirate ships! Sometimes, there are tricky moments – Lily-May hates it when Mum has to work late – but a birthday party with Lily-May’s big fantastic family helps her realise just how many people love her.

This reassuring celebration of non-nuclear families will help children to understand that they will always be loved, even if parents separate or divorce.

Beautifully written in rhyme by the award-winning authors of the bestselling George’s Amazing Adventures series, this uplifting story with a diverse cast of characters embraces all the positive aspects of becoming part of a blended family after a divorce or separation.

Meet Harry Stevenson. He doesn’t live in a castle, or a witch’s cottage, or anywhere exciting like that. His home is in a flat with seven-year-old Billy and his mum and dad. And at first glance, Harry doesn’t seem any different from your average guinea pig. He has ginger fur and sparkly black eyes and likes nothing more than snacking on a piece of broccoli.

But don’t be fooled! Harry may just want to sleep and eat (and then eat some more) but somehow he always manages to get swept up in adventures: whether it’s surfing the Pacific on a picnic plate or accidentally attaching himself to a helium balloon.

Jack was seven and Chloe was six. Jack liked his sister, but loved to play tricks . . .

So begins this rollicking, rhyming tale that celebrates the power of imagination – with a difference! When Chloe’s silvery crayon develops magical powers, it sparks a thrilling chase through a fairytale world – an unbelievable adventure where her drawings spring to life!

Can Chloe use all her creativity and inventiveness to rescue her brother and save the day?

An adventure from the author of Do Not Enter the Monster Zoo , brought to life by the bestselling illustrator behind The Littlest Bandit and Girls Can Do Anything.

This is a joyful celebration of all the pieces, places and people that make us who we are. It is a wonderful way to get children thinking about and learning about their own families, and also opening up discussions about all of the other pieces that come together to make us all unique: from our friends and food we eat, to activities we get up to and the places we go.

Children will enjoy finding out more about themselves and their families, and thinking about other families and friends who are similar or different to their own.
