She said he would never be forgotten because he is our family.

Molly the Mole addresses the difference between the way we perceive ourselves and the way our friends and family perceive us. Molly learns the importance of being kind and patient with others, and that everyone is unique.

each one of them has a different way of expressing their gender identity.

This brightly illustrated, heart-warming take on a classic fairytale teaches children about same-sex relationships and attraction. Exploring what it means to be in a healthy, loving relationship, it encourages children to listen to others, be kind, and embrace diversity and equality. Ideal for children aged 3-7.

Jackson is a boy who likes to wear dresses. Ivy is a girl who likes her hair cut really short. Alex doesn’t feel like ‘just’ a boy, or ‘just’ a girl. They are all the same, they are all different - but they are all friends. A very simple story that challenges gender stereotypes and shows 4 to 8 year olds that it is OK to be yourself. An engaging story

Time passed by, yet still Oskar was determined for his sister and Alex to fall in love. Oskar believed that if they spent enough time together their romance would eventually blossom. So he took them bug hunting, flower planting...

on the kitchen table and that means trouble with Mr Tinns. School can be a difficult and stressful place for a child, and sometimes they just need a little bit of help to manage it all. That’s where Arty comes in. He’s an inner coach, here to help each child achieve their very best. Offering children a creative way of helping to manage their own worries, Arty will help show children that they’re not alone in their struggles and that they always have choices, even when stuff happens that they don’t like. With practical guidance for parents and teachers on how to use the book and specific coaching activities, it is perfect for children aged 8-12, especially those who have a fear of failure.

I’ve forgotten about my Shadow.

I focus on my memory sticks, searching desperately for something that will help.

I can hear lots of loud voices again, but not Fear and Panic – I hardly recognise them, they’ve been drowned out all day. Now I am hearing new voices – Joy and Excitement.

Everything you are looking for is here. Arty helps me focus. I can motivate a team. That’s why I’ve been chosen to captain it. I’m fast – I really sprinted down the hill this morning. And I can turn situations around – look what happened with Sammy. I have already found ways to begin to shrink my Shadow and quieten Fear. But can I help Ezra reduce the power of his shadow? Yes. I can use my memory sticks to make sure Ezra’s emotion doesn’t overwhelm us all – and help the whole team.

The bell rings and my happiness evaporates. The moment I am dreading arrives. Mr Tinns hands out the test. My Shadow surrounds me. My heart is pounding as I open the paper. The first question is division, my worst nightmare! Bound to fail. Stress is building up inside me like an erupting volcano. It’s a monster inside my head. It’s growing. It’s playing with my brain. It’s eating Arty. I can’t think.

“Come on everyone. Heads up, we can do this. Believe you can get the next point, Ezra. You have done it so many times before, I know you can do it again.” It’s my voice, not Arty’s. I’m shouting loudly and confidently. The ball is way above me. I jump high and pass Ezra the ball. He makes a spectacular layup. High-fives all round. It’s a turning point in the game.

“Using an engaging story that many children will be able to relate to and comic-style artwork, Super Coach Arty vs. The Shadow provides a range of accessible and useful advice and tips to help the reader control their fears and believe in themselves as well as giving parents important insights on how to support their children through their worries.” - Kate Collins-Donnelly, author of the ‘Starving the Gremlin’ and ‘Banish Your Thief’ series

Excuse me, miss, if it’s OK, we’ll go to the front of the line because María blah blah blah

I say all this in a serious voice while María is still mad. the staff are usually very understanding.

Yes, of course sir.

Now we can go to the plane.

Gate 28 is a long way off and down some stairs.

At last we sit down, but that still doesn’t calm María.

I tell the steward about the overload problem. I see. Hmmm...

María and I cannot travel separately.

A solution is soon found.

Unique The other day, among the T-shirts that María’s mother had packed for her, there was one that seemed ideal for the situation: Red cotton

Impossible not to notice!

Shiny letters!

I put it on her so that she’d be the Queen of the Dining Room, but I don’t think anyone got the message. That’s the thing about María: SHE is the star, not the T-shirts she wears.

I think of this song by Kevin Johansen when I see María on the beach playing with the sand. For hours on end, she lets the grains slip through her hand, right in front of her eyes, as if she can see the thing that we are all desperately looking for. This is one of María’s favorite rituals. She’s done it since she was very small.

Ceiba is one of María’s favorite Canarian cousins.
