The Playground Hero

The Playground Hero is a story about a school boy named Jack who doesn’t have any friends. It explores the hurtful feelings of being lonely, isolated and bullied. This book explores the huge positive impact that one child can have on another child’s life through a simple act of kindness. It is a call to action for children to make a positive difference in another child’s life through inclusion. It is a perfect example of modelling to children the actions underpinning the words: ‘be kind’.

The Perfect Princess

Meet the most perfect, polite and kind princess, Olivia. Princess Olivia is about to meet someone who will be very special to her. Come and see if the perfect princess gets her happily ever after.

The Perfect Fit

Have you ever wondered what a hermit crab goes through when his old shell is too small or is broken? Just remember, the grass isn’t always greener.
Follow Hermie in his adventures as he searches high and low for a new home and fingers crossed he finds his perfect fit.

The Peppercorn Bears

Simon Bear, Mollie, Gwen, Baby Bear, Arthur, and Benjamin Bear are “proper” bears made from soft mohair fabric with moveable joints and growlers by Helen, the owner of the gift shop. Though the bears were made to sell, Helen falls in love with their characters and she realises she can’t let them go! So the bears live together on the top shelf in the gift shop where they yearn to be involved in life “outside.”

Suspicions arise when chocolates go missing from the cabinet, and when Helen opens the shop in the morning the bears seem to have swapped places on the shelf.

In the story you can find out how the bears get out through the shop window for their adventures in and around the town. Prepare yourselves for some “ups and downs” as you read about the predicaments Baby Bear gets into (the other bears are always around to help out), and get to know Arthur before he sets off on his travels!

The Pants That Ran at Night

When Timmy goes to sleep at night, his underpants like to go on fun and exciting adventures! They go to the park, to Timmy’s school and even to a spooky graveyard! Where else do the pants go? Who else do the pants meet? What will the pants get up to? Most importantly, will the pants get home in time before Timmy wakes up the next morning?

The Pants That Ran at Night is a unique, fun, educational and empathy-building adventure for children of a younger age. It’s been called ‘entertaining, enjoyable, delightful and vibrant!’ It is a positive and fun story which can educate, entertain and enlighten children and can help them connect with their parent or guardian.

The Mouse in the Car

The Mouse in the Car is a heart-warming and charming story featuring two characters: Ellie, an engaging, intelligent six-year-old with an enquiring, independent mind and her Aunty Elaine, a middle-aged single lady who is just a wee bit bossy and somewhat eccentric, and like Ellie, intelligent and single-minded.

What will happen when Aunty Elaine finds a mouse in her car?

The Moose That Missed Christmas

Angus and Finn are the best of friends, and spend their time playing together; running, skipping, chasing round and round in circles and walking in and out of each other’s footprints. As they excitedly ran off to Finn’s for a sleepover, they were unaware that this was the night the clocks moved from summer to autumn.
