This fabulous new book will be released on 1st August!
Griselda Snook's Spectacular Books
Barry Timms has written this book especially to thank booksellers like me for helping readers discover their perfect book.

Magical and eye-catching illustrations by Laura Borio make this a spell for my current perfect book!
Order now and you'll receive your copy at the beginning of August

Children can be anxious and stressed about lots of things - there's a new book called Whispa and the Waves, which has been written to try to help work through those feelings and find the positive.
Written by Ffion Jones, who has done lots of work with seriously unwell children, this one was written with her own daughter's anxieties in mind.
I just find the illustrations (by Elena Mascolo) utterly gorgeous.

I'm updating the website and was reminded of Neil Gaiman's Pirate Stew!
The description says
"a joyfully riotous, brilliantly anarchic, deliciously rhyming adventure, with glorious piratical illustrations by Chris Riddell"
It's such a wonderful book!
(It's on the website ;) )

We've got a section dedicated to teenage/young adult books, so let them have a browse!

Young children love to be outside in the summer (actually, they love it all year round!)
We did Nature Art with Squirrels last night - they loved searching for different leaves and sticks to make their pictures.
Maybe you could find some inspiration in our selection of summer books about sticks and trees?
