All American Boys: The Illustrated Edition

Jason Reynolds, Brendan Kiely and Akhran Girmay

The New York Times bestselling novel about police brutality in the US – now fully illustrated by Akhran Girmay.

I just wanted him to stop beating me. I just wanted to live. After a violent act that leaves their community and, ultimately, the country divided, Rashad and Quinn – one Black boy, one White boy – face the truth that racism and prejudice are all around us. And there’s a future at stake, a future where no one will have deal with police brutality. They just have to risk everything they’ve ever known to speak out. With evocative black and white illustrations from FAB Prize winner Akhran Girmay.

Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats T. S. Eliot

Illustrated by Júlia Sardà

The naming of Cats is a difficult matter, It isn’t just one of your holiday games; You may think at first I’m as mad as a hatter When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES. First of all, there’s the name that the family use daily, Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo or James, Such as Victor or Jonathan, George or Bill Bailey –All of them sensible everyday names . . .

So begins one of the best-known poetry collections of all time. The practical cats need no introduction, but this stunning new full-colour version, illustrated by Júlia Sardà, showcases the cats exquisitely in a wonderfully stylish new edition. Whether you are a cat or a dog person, you will be enchanted and impressed by Júlia’s stunning interpretation.

THOMAS STEARNS ELIOT (1888-1965) was born in St Louis, Missouri, USA. He settled in England in 1915 and published his first book of poems in 1917. Eliot received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1948. Eliot died in 1965.

Old Toffer’s Book of Consequential Dogs

Christopher Reid

Illustrated by Sara Ogilvie

T. S. Eliot’s best-selling collection of practical cat poems has been one of the most successful poetry collections ever. In the 80th year of Old Possum’s Cats, we published the companion volume that Eliot had envisaged, written by Costa winner Christopher Reid. This wonderfully witty and varied collection is now illustrated in full-colour by the brilliant Sara Ogilvie, and is perfect for younger readers to appreciate. A book that will be enjoyed by generations to come, ideal for reading together!

CHRISTOPHER REID is the author of many books of poems, including A Scattering (winner of the Costa Book of the Year Award 2009). For his first collection of poems for children, All Sorts, he received the Signal Award 2000. From 1991 to 1999 he was Poetry Editor at Faber & Faber, where T. S. Eliot once worked.

SARA OGILVIE is an awardwinning illustrator. She has illustrated a number of bestselling titles including The Detective Dog and Dogs Don’t Do Ballet. In addition, Sara lectures at her local university and continues to create work that is exhibited worldwide. Sara lives in Newcastle upon Tyne. I’ve rounded up a rowdy assembly Of my own Consequential Dogs As counterparts to Eliot’s mogs. Mine are a rough and ready bunch: You wouldn’t take them out to lunch At some snoot-uppity restaurant, Or introduce them to an Aunt You hope might leave you heaps of money; But if they strike you as friendly, funny, Full of bounce and fond of a romp, Forgetful of poetic pomp, I trust you’ll take them as you find them And, at the very least, not mind them.
