Norm by Sylvia Laing

By Leave a Comment

Norm looks exactly the way a normal person looks. For a long time, he thought the way he lived was best.
But then a golden bird took him beyond his village where he discovered a world that was completely unruly. At first, he was afraid. But thanks to his new friend, Red, Norm discovered the immeasurable freedom in letting go of the rules.

The Perfect Sofa by Fifi Kuo

By Leave a Comment

Panda and Penguin love their old sofa – but when the springs poke through and the cover tears – they realise it is time to go shopping! They look at all sorts of sofas – too big, too small, too hard, too soft and even too `arty’! And, of course, they end up with their `perfect’ sofa.

Fifi Kuo is from Taiwan. She did her BA in Landscape Architecture Design, then an MA in Illustration at the Cambridge School of Art.

Lubna and Pebble by Wendy Meddour ill. Daniel Egneus

By Leave a Comment

Lubna’s best friend is a pebble. She found it on the beach when they arrived in the night, then she fell asleep in Daddy’s salty arms. Lubna tells Pebble everything. About home. About the war. Pebble always listens to her stories and smiles when she feels afraid. But one day, when a little boy arrives, alone in a world of tents, Lubna poignantly understands that he needs Pebble even more than she does.

“The larger-than-life, almost dreamy illustrations show readers what Lubna sees and feels, and the rawness of both text and images penetrates the heart… A true celebration of the endless creativity and resilience of children.” KIRKUS
