Nobody but Me
£12.99After a young boy unties the knot anchoring his small boat near his mother, he slips away from her on a gentle tide. Floating off on a quiet and peaceful journey through town, jungle, and city, the child is all the while watched over by satyrs and wild animals as he passes by. When he floats back to the beach – was it a few hours? a few minutes? – his mother is there at the water’s edge right where he left her. Perhaps it was a dream? And yet he has returned from his solo adventure with a gift pressed into his palm, a tiny seed that when planted will grow on its own. Separation from a parent, whether for a long period or just a few minutes, can fill a child with anxiety, but at other times that same child may struggle to be and do things on their own. Using gouache, collage and watercolour, Lundberg’s stunning illustrations in Nobody But Me convey both the child’s agency and the unbreakable bond with his mother. Here is a story that wil

Fritz: A Mushroom Story
£16.99Meet Fritz. He likes rose hip ice cream on warm days and cream of chestnut soup on cold ones. Sometimes, Fritz likes to play with lots of friends. Sometimes, he likes playing with his extroverted best friend Pip (who likes blackberry bramble ice cream on hot days and spicy nettle stew on cold ones). But most often, Fritz likes to spend time all by himself. Time to be quiet. Time to do lots of things or nothing at all. One morning, Fritz decides to have a very Pip-like day, to see what it’s like being Pip. The day starts with an exciting morning of berryball, followed by a swim in the puddle pond – and then blowing bubbles in the violet patch! But as the day goes on, Fritz starts getting more and more frazzled – it’s exhausting work being so social when you’re an introvert! How can Fritz get the quiet time he needs when there’s so much going on? Find out in this sweet new picture book by talented author-illustrator Kelsey Garrity-Riley.
