Grandma - Written and illustrated by Jessica Shepherd

A beautiful, moving book, with wonderful illustrations. Love this book!

Oscar loves Grandma, and their time together is always lots of fun. As she becomes less able to look after herself, she has to go into a care home. More and more children are encountering dementia and its effects on their families. This touching story, told in Oscar’s own words, is a positive and practical tale about the experience. The factual page about dementia helps children talk about their feelings and find new ways to enjoy the changing relationship. Jessica Shepherd’s sensitive first picture book has grown out of her experiences in a variety of caring roles.

Rosie and Robin - Vivian den Hollander

Vivian den Hollander has created two adventurous stories for kids with funny lines and inspirational tools for parents; through the realistic images, children will be able to relate to Rosie & Robin and not only take notice of the funny side of the story, but also pay attention to the educational tips they get from the twins. Stuart Trotter’s images pay a big part in this; he has managed to show how much fun it is to clean and play responsibly. Den Hollander and Trotter’s successful first collaboration will hopefully lead to more wonderful books like these.

"Girls Can't Play Football!"

"GIRLS CAN'T PLAY FOOTBALL" by Dr. David Waugh.
ISBN 978-1-909644-86-1
£7.50

Lauren longed to play football. She was sure she would be good at it. She had watched endless videos of footballers, especially her hero, Lionel Messi. She had spent hours practising her ball skills in her tiny back yard and in the passageway behind her house, and on the wasteland next to an old, disused factory near her house.

She had often watched the boys from a distance and she was certain that she was more skilful than most of them. The trouble was, she had never played in a game.
She could dribble in and out of the obstacle courses she set up for herself using plastic bottles and drinks cans, and she could trap and volley the ball as she bounced it off the brick wall of the old factory. What she did not know was if she could use her skills when other people were trying to take the ball from her. But before she could find out, she had to persuade the boys to let her play!
