Wild EMILY HUGHES
ISBN 978-1-909263-62-8
The best-selling picture book by Hawaiian born author/ illustrator Emily Hughes is now available in paperback. Wild tells the story of a little girl who has known nothing but nature from birth.

The Little Gardener EMILY HUGHES
ISBN 978-1-909263-43-7
There was once a little gardener and his garden meant everything to him. He worked hard, very hard, but he was just too little (or at least he felt he was). Emily Hughes, the celebrated author of Wild, departs from the larger than life Wild-girl of her debut to pursue a littler than life gardener in a gentle story that teaches us just how important it is to persist and try, no matter what the odds!

Hungry Roscoe DAVID J. PLANT
ISBN 978-1-909263-53-6
Roscoe is a hungry raccoon who is fed up with eating rotten junk out of the trash. What he wouldn’t give for a lovely piece of fish or some fresh, juicy fruit – and where better to find food than at the zoo! An excellent idea. Except for the grumpy zookeeper who’s intent on keeping Roscoe OUT. But Roscoe’s determined to eat and, sure enough, he’s come up with a plan to disguise himself as a zoo animal... What could possibly go wrong?

“This is my rock!” proclaims a young goat. “It’s not yours,” he bleats at Eagle. “Or yours,” he grumbles at Bear. “Not yours!” he shouts at the other goats.
