You don't want to miss these five new, heartwarming story releases!
Our first new release is Jessica Goes Swimming, an inspirational story from Jessica Smith. This beautiful tale explores self-belief, and embracing what’s different - and special - about each of us. Illustrated by Hasina Shafad and read by Ellie Cole, this is one story you won’t want to miss.
Zanni Louise’s latest release is Human Kind: Resilience, which explores how resilience not only grows over time, but also that every one is more resilient than they think! This wonderful story will support those all-important wellbeing conversations with your young readers. Illustrated by Missy Turner and read by the fantastic Adam Wallace, we think this needs to be added to your ‘must-watch’ list!
My Shadow is Purple, written, illustrated, and read by the multi-talented Scott Stuart, this story is one that considers gender beyond the binary, in a glorious spectrum of colours! Heartwarming, engaging and touching, we know that this tale is one that kids and adults alike will love.
Food is glorious, nourishing, and creates connection. We’d like to invite you to watch Stay For Dinner and celebrate all the wonderful things that different cultures have to offer with us. Written by Sandhya Parappukkaran, illustrated by Michelle Pereira and read by the engaging Alice Zavlavsky, this is a heartwarming story about all the ways that food brings us together.
Always Never Always encourages readers to ‘follow secret tracks’ and explore their world! A beautiful tale that will ‘wind and wend’ with you, this story is the latest release from award-winning creators, Meg McKinlay and Leila Rudge. Read by the incomparable Dolly Diamond, we’d recommend adding it immediately to your watchlist!
