We called it ‘The Dulling’.

It had been creeping in for such a long time, and had started so gradually, that most people barely even noticed.

As the Dulling spread, people began to fight and isolate themselves from each other. Neighbours became enemies, friends became strangers, and soon all colour was drained from the world.

When the world is plagued with isolation and cursed to live without colour‚ it is up to a group of determined children to grow a seed of hope that will inspire everyone to come together and build a better future.

This timeless fable‚ from debut author Lucy Farfort‚ is sure to entrance and empower in equal measure.

Sofia and Bilal are twins, and they love making mischief together! When their family of four becomes five, the twins realise that sharing is harder than they had ever imagined . . .

This beautifully illustrated picture book is the perfect gift for children who are about to become older siblings for the first time. Lucy Farfort’s gentle watercolour artwork combined with engaging text introduces little learners to this enormous life event in an accessible and honest light.

An emotive, poignant and lighthearted introduction to the big changes we face.

Today we are moving house but my new room is strange and scary. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to sleep…
A gentle first experience story about new beginnings, friendship and finding ways to cope with fear.
