Inspired by the life of Jemmy Button – a native of Tierra del Fuego who was brought to England in the mid-1800s to be ‘educated and civilised’ by British missionaries and explorers – this retro-style book illustrates Jemmy’s adventures in England and his return back home. This beautiful collaboration between Jennifer Uman and Valerio Vidali was actually born via Google Translate – as neither Jennifer or Valerio spoke each other’s language when beginning this project!

Also contains riotously funny footnotes. Footnotes are what writers use when they want to share something interesting with you but don’t want to hold up the story.

Instead, they put a little number next to a word so that you know there’s a gripping bit down here, at the foot of the page. Personally, I call this the bottom of the page and think footnotes should be called bottom-notes. However, try as I might, publishers simply refuse to talk about bottoms.

Rosa and Alessandro, teenage heads of rival Mafia clans and secretly in love with each other, don’t want to keep their feelings hidden any longer. But their forbidden relationship incites the shape-shifting Arcadian clans against them. Now back in Sicily, Rosa discovers who is at the centre of the conspiracy against her, and this revelation will mean that the world of the Arcadians will never be the same again.

the amazing tale of ali pasha Michael Foreman paperback May 14

On 6 May 1915, Henry Friston, a 21-year-old seaman, rejoined his battleship after ten days in Hell. Hell was just 180 metres long and seven metres wide and was otherwise known as ‘X Beach’, Gallipoli.

Henry, ferrying the wounded from the battlefield, had not eaten or slept for three days. Then, somehow, in the midst of the bombardment, he met an unlikely companion – a tortoise.

An evocative story, based on real events and beautifully illustrated

by Michael Foreman, author of War Game, War Boy and other children’s classics.

| 73 What is Pictura?

Pictura is a stunning range of art to collect and colour.

Display it, show it, share it.

But first, just look.

Colour it in. Don’t colour it in.

Make mistakes; whatever you do, make it your own.

Each Pictura comes in a unique concertina format that can be pored over, put on a mantelpiece or carried around in your bag.

Showcasing art by some of the world’s most-respected illustrators, and covering a wide range of subjects, there’s something for everyone to enjoy – from Shaun Tan’s vision of a futuristic city to Helen Ward’s beautifully detailed view of an English hedgerow. Printed on highquality card, you can use most materials to complete your Pictura – coloured crayons, ink, pencil or felt tip. series one available now

Why is colouring-in for everyone?

helen ward’s hedgerow year

ian andrew’s aurelian

Industry is born from an egg, as other animals and plants look on. As it grows, metal trades metal, towns march and skyscrapers smoke, until all converge in a powerful, violent metropolis.

Take a journey through glamorous Paris in the early 1900s, past landmarks including the Louvre, Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower.

The beautiful seasons of the English countryside are witnessed by one ever-changing hedgerow, from the bright colours of summer flowers to the white snow of winter. The back of the concertina features a guide to the species pictured.

A gorgeous array of butterflies and moths wait for you to add their colour. The back features a key to species and a further illustration – ‘metamorphosis’ – showing the journey a peacock butterfly will take from caterpillar to chrysalis, and finally rebirth as an adult butterfly.

There are real benefits to be had from the simple pleasure of adding colour to a piece of art. Whether you’re five or fifty, colouring-in enhances connectivity in the brain, increases focus and improves cognitive function. It’s a great way to disconnect from the daily stresses of life, to lose yourself in a creative act, to pass the time – and best of all, you need no gadgets to enjoy it. A hand, an eye, a pack of coloured pencils, a little time to call your own – and your favourite Pictura title. What’s not to love?

www.picturaline.com In April 2014, the next wave of eight Pictura titles will hit the high street. With beautifully composed scenes from favourite fairy tales, an exuberant carnival, a stroll through modernday London, plus monsters, dinosaurs and a city gridlocked with traffic, there’s something for everyone, young or old, to colour in. As if that wasn’t enough, Pictura will also be proud to present black-and-white artwork from one of the leading children’s illustrators working in the world today: David McKee, creator of the beloved Elmer books.

pictura counter pack

A detailed and dramatic portrayal of a knight’s life, from riding on horseback to jousting, to the knighting ceremony itself. Turn to the back to learn how to draw a knight through gridded drawing exercises, and discover tips on colouring in flesh tones.

A friar, a jester, a thief and a lord; a farmer, a mother, a knight with a sword… All the familiar faces of a typical medieval town can be found in this bustling concertina scene. To find out who is who, and to learn how to draw your own character, see the back of the concertina.

Young artist Niroot Puttapipat has created a beautiful woodland scene of elves, sprites, faeries and other mythical creatures. After colouring this in, users are invited to take the next creative step and draw a faerie of their own, with tips on drawing figures from Niroot on the reverse side.

John Howe (conceptual artist for the Lord of the Rings films) shows that there are dragons everywhere: in woods, in castles, in the clouds, in architecture, sitting on piles of treasure and, lastly, in books. With tips from the artist and a drawing exercise on the back.

pocket fairytales

In this play on ‘10 green bottles’/ ‘10 in the bed’, ten monsters are very squished on a bunk bed. One by one, each monster gets pushed out on to the floor, where readers can press them to hear the fun sounds they make, for example: snoring, scratching, burping, slurping, sniffing and farting.

Eventually, all the monsters end up on the floor and realise they’re more squished than ever!

These pop-out concertina versions of well-known fairytales are small enough to put in your pocket! Stretch them out to follow the heroines’ journeys, with simple pops bringing magnificent illustrations to life.
