From global stories to STEAM learning, our Autumn 2024 collection invites children to explore the world around them with curiosity and excitement for planet earth and the unique and vibrant people and cultures who call it home. This season we invite you to embark on an extraordinary journey across the African diaspora with Ayo, while he experiences the creative and resilient cultures that share his heritage (Ayo’s Adventure, p. 2). Then visit a small village in ancient China during the Mid-Autumn Festival and meet Su-Ling as she tries to deceive Mongolian guards (Message in the Mooncake, p. 6). Plus, experience a day in the life in Cuba, Pakistan, the Philippines, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the four new additions to our popular Our World series (p. 16).
For the littlest readers, we’re thrilled to introduce Barefoot Baby-Proof (p. 14) with eight of our bestselling books now in a chomp-proof, water-proof, and ripproof format. Our latest singalong, Earth Song (p. 4), will spark questions about the natural world as we explore the earth’s seasonal cycles. And you can explore more STEAM concepts with an interactive board book that investigates interoception — the signals our body sends when it’s hungry, cold, or thirsty (Body Detective!
