Bonnier Books Ltd Our House
Book SynopsisAn entertaining and charming story about an eccentric, loveable family - 'Endearingly funny' 5-star review, Telegraph Chloe Deal is observant. Every day she notices small details - like how Front Door always refuses to open when it's raining; how whatever task he sets out to do, Daddy usually ends up snoozing to the radio in his shed; how her younger sister Daisy muddles her similes but never her fashion sense, and how Mummy's nostrils flare when Dad forgets to mow the lawn, again. So when Chloe starts a school project about her house, she ends up cataloguing the chaotic balancing act of her family along with it. In the run up to the school holidays (and Chloe's birthday), disaster follows disaster at home and school. Mummy's patience is beginning to unravel. Can Chloe get the house, her siblings and her father in shape before it's too late?Trade ReviewEaston, an experienced children's fiction author, has created an endearingly funny family, whose problems ring with poignancy. Chloe is a charming, vulnerable heroine that you root for throughout. The second of this planned series is due in September and I can't wait to read it. -- Julia Llewellyn Smith * The Telegraph *School, friends and the chaos of family life, told with great warmth and charm. From the author of the well-received Boys Don't Knit * The Bookseller *It's a warm story, rather poignant at times, about an endearing, funny family that really tries to pull together despite the disasters and it's really held together with warmth and love. * South Wales Evening Post *This is a funny and heart-warming tale proving that perfect family life comes in many forms -- Louise Heines * The Guardian *This book has made me belly laugh more than any other book I have read this year. T. S Easton had a wickedly delicious sense of humour and any child (or any adult!!!) will be giggling away to themselves throughout this book (...)Children aged 9-99 will adore this book! (...) can't recommend it highly enough! * My Chestnut Reading Tree *This is a funny and interesting book (...) my favourite character was Chole because she is very warm-hearted and friendly (...) I'd recommend this book to people who like Tom Gates or Diary of a Wimpy Kid * National Geographic Kids Magazine *I really like this book because it is obviously very funny, but it also seems very true in some aspects for children who are in the same position as Chloe with a troublesome sibling and a very problematic house * Powered by Reading *This is a great book, about friendship and annoyance. It is great! * Mango Bubbles Books *Our House is aimed at 8 to 12 year olds, who will love it, but it has that precious special ingredient: It appeals to any adults who may pick it up as it is funny and sees family life with a wry eye * Cat and Mouse Reading *The cover invites us to meet the Deal family: clumsy, chaotic and mad as a bunch of daffodils and the readers will not be disappointed (...) Chloe's humourous anecdotes (...) keep the story bubbling along, and teachers and librarians may well be reminded of the Hilary McKay novels with serious themes running through the humour (...) Definitely recommended -- Diana Barnes * The School Librarian *

Why should an Igbo boy of Nigeria, who will become a great trader, waste precious time on books?Trade Review"Amadi’s experiences are genuine and come across naturally in the narrative. The vibrant illustrations depict the setting and bring richness and depth to the story." -- School Library Journal"Children will enjoy reading about Amadi’s life in the village, depicted in the earth-toned, intimate scenes.

Tilbury House,U.S. No I Wont Go to School
Book SynopsisAlonso Núnez’s playful story, Dave Morrison’s rollicking Spanish-to-English translation, and Bruna Assis Brasil’s imaginative illustrations offer a doomsday vision of a child’s first day of school that any young reader will recognize.Trade Review"A child’s imagination inflates school fears in Mexico-based author Núñez’s first English-language book...In sophisticated pen-and-ink and photographic collages, Brazilian illustrator Brasil renders the teacher as a hydra and the school bus as a horned monster, and sharp-featured students wear expressions of wide-mouthed terror...Núñez is effective at conveying the sense of doom that ruminating on the unknown can bring, while Brasil’s art blends creaturely details and photographic accents to stylized effect." -- PW"A boy walks readers through his concerns about his first day of school: "Now I'm in the belly / of this monstrous bus. / The driver's a zombie / who won't talk to us." The story follows the expected school-isn't-so-bad path, and the rhymes (translated from the Spanish) drop the odd beat, but elevating the affair is the surrealism-tinged art reflecting the kid's imagination." -- Nell Beram - The Horn Book Guide

Tilbury House,U.S. Henry Is Kind
Book SynopsisA classroom-tested resource for social and emotional learning Henry's discovery of the many ways he can be kind will inspire young readers to use the simple mindfulness practices taught in this book to develop their own capacities for kindness.Trade Review"What did you like about the book? Mindfulness in the classroom is a growing trend, and Henry is Kind is a wonderful way to introduce the concept to lower-grade elementary students. Henry is listening to his teacher and classmates talk about all of the kind acts they have done, and he starts getting frustrated that he can’t think of a single nice thing he did. Luckily, his classmates are there to remind him that no small act goes unnoticed, and sometimes even the littlest moments make a big impact. At the end of the book, Ryden included a few pages on Mindfulness and Heartfulness. These pages have a plethora of information and resources for readers to incorporate the practices in their own lives. To whom would you recommend this book? Parents, Public and School libraries" -- Meghann Price, Lynn Vocational Technical Institute, Lynn, MA - Youth Services Book Review,"These delightful, captivating books are full of powerful practical methods for kids - and their parents." -- Rick Hanson, Ph.D., author of Resilient, Hardwiring Happiness, and Buddha’s Brain"Henry Is Kind is bright, fun, and engaging, which is wonderful because it means kids will love it. And it provides an easy way for teachers and parents to help children understand and enjoy being kind, which means adults will love it too." -- Sharon Salzberg, author of Real Happiness and Real Love"Linda Ryden is an amazing author, teacher and overall person. Her approach to mindfulness makes it achievable for all, and I consider her an expert in the field of social emotional learning and mindfulness. Her books serve as a wonderful resource for parents, teachers, and students." -- Wanda H. Legrand, Ed.D Deputy Chancellor District of Columbia Public Schools

Book SynopsisWinner at The 2018 New York Times/New York Public Library Best Illustrated Children’s BooksAyobami es una niña Africana que sueña con ir a la escuela. Cuando termina la guerra, la niña finalmente pueden hacerlo, pero para lograrlo, tiene tomar el camino peligroso por la selva. Llevando sólo un papel y un lápiz gastado, Ayobami comienza su viaje para alcanzar su latiente deseo por aprender a leer y escribir. Esta es una historia sobre la importancia de la educación, las dificultades que muchos niños tienen que sobrellevar para ir a la escuela y la perseverancia y entusiasmo de aquellos que quieren aprender.Lexile Level: 600LNo se pierdan el booktrailer! Las primeras páginas:Trade Review"Sandwiched between endpapers of yellow-lined paper showing the upper- and lowercase cursive alphabet, this quiet story shouts the pricelessness of literacy.(...) A marvelous tale of one girl’s passion for reading, writing, and learning." ~ Kirkus Starred ReviewBest Educational Children's Picture Book- Spanish Language Category at the International Latino Book Awards“ (…) Younger children will likely relate to and enjoy Ayobami’s perseverance to attend class. The framework of “naming” animals will also likely appeal to early elementary school–aged children, particularly as they themselves are learning about—and how to write the names of—various animals (…) A solid purchase for elementary school libraries.” ~ School Library Journal“With the feel of an Aesop’s fable, this story is both empowering and reflective of the joy school can bring to children whose lives have been disrupted by war. Beautiful illustrations in graphite, watercolor, and colored pencil lend an ethereal, magical quality to this unnamed place, where dangerous creatures have endearing faces, and letters of the alphabet flutter around Ayobami like protective stardust. ” ~ Booklist
