Excavating four billion years of history from the ground beneath our feet! Over the past four billion years, life on our planet has evolved from microscopic single-celled organisms to the incredible array of flora and fauna today. In the course of this time, layer upon layer of life was buried in sediment, turning into a fossilised record of the planet’s history. This highly-illustrated, large-format book looks at all the incredible things that scientists have learned from the fossil record: The ways in which continents have drifted, merged and fragmented again. The life forms that have evolved and the great extinction events that wiped them out. Clear, concise texts are accompanied by Sophie Williams’ warm and entertaining illustrations, making this a book to cherish and return to.

Welcome to the Grand Hotel of Feelings, where all kinds of feelings come and stay. Every guest has unique needs. Anger, for example, is very loud and needs plenty of space to scream and shout. Sadness speaks in a small voice and occasionally floods the bathroom. Gratitude likes wandering about in nature; you never know when she might come and sit by your side. Sometimes the hotel gets very busy – feelings big and small check in and out. It can be tempting to turn the more difficult feelings away, or to try to turn them into new feelings, but you have to give them space to come and go in their own time, because all feelings are just passing through. At the Grand Hotel of Feelings, there is room for everyone! This is a delightfully imaginative book that is both a fun read-aloud and also a great way to engage children in conversations about managing emotions.

Bear wakes up after his long winter’s sleep and joins his friend, Butterfly, on a journey. They walk through the forest, climb a steep mountain and cross a great river. At all points, Butterfly has wisdom to offer about overcoming hardship, facing ones’ fears, or being in the moment. Bear is impatient, but he listens and mulls over Butterfly’s insights. As they walk, the seasons change; from spring to summer and then to autumn. As the first snow begins to fall, Bear and Butterfly find themselves outside a cave. Bear curls up, his eyes heavy. This is a tale about friendship and about circles and cycles of life and being. It is a calming bedtime story that introduces Buddhist philosophies and values to young readers.

A fascinating survey of seven nomadic societies around the world. With tribes across the five continents, it carefully presents traditional ways of living that are currently at threat from globalisation and the modern world. With delicate monotype illustrations bringing the material to life, we learn about the Sama Bajau, fishing nomads from the Philippines who spend months at sea without ever touching land. We discover the Yanomami peoples of the Amazon rainforest, whose connection to the forest around them informs every aspect of their lives; and we find about the Steppe nomads of Mongolia, who follow their reindeer through blasting winds to the very edge of the Arctic Circle. All these cultures face common pressures and problems. Governments want them to settle down and assimilate; local populations view them with suspicion; subsistence farming or herding is not viable in a cut-throat globalised world.

In his distinctively humorous, somewhat subversive tone, Elliot Kruszynski (in the guise of the Prof) looks at how our understanding of our place within the universe has evolved from the days of Ancient Greece, to the discoveries of Copernicus and Gallileo, through to Newton and then to Einstein and Hawking. In and amongst these stories, we find out about how the universe may have been formed, the birth and death of stars, different types of galaxies, our own solar system and the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy. Kruszynski’s comprehensive but easily understood texts are brought to life in comic-style panels with plenty of dialogue and discussion bringing the subject alive, and providing a refreshingly new take on the broadest of all subject matters!
