Book SynopsisGrumbles from the Forest: Fairy-Tale Voices with a Twist What were all those fairy-tale characters thinking? Jane Yolen and Rebecca Kai Dotlich answer this question in paired poems, with sometimes startling results. The Princess claims all those mattresses kept her awake—not a silly pea—while the poor pea complains that the princess snores. One Snow White begs the witch to settle by the bay and throw that mirror away. Another boldly tells the mirror she "won't be guided by a glass that's so one-sided." Grumbles from the Forest is a bewitching brew of voices—grumbling, pleading, bragging, reminiscing, confiding—that bubbles with magic and wonder. The spectacular paintings that tie the poems together are full of surprise and intrigue. This stunning collection includes end notes that briefly describe the tales and their history and an introduction that invites readers to imagine their own poems from unusual perspectives.Trade Review"Yolen and Dotlich refashion 15 classic fairy tales into incisive poems told from dual perspectives. . . Mahurin's inky illustrations make theatrical use of dimension, light, and shadow as the characters bound from their expected roles." -- Publishers Weekly

Troika Books The Moon's Gorgonzola
Book SynopsisIn this vibrant bouncy new collection Debra focuses on poetry for younger children (Key stage 1 & 2). It’s a wonderful collection of reflective and soothing poems, poems for performance, rhyming poems, silly poems, puzzle poems and ‘carpet’ poems. Debra says: ‘Writing The Moon’s Gorgonzola has been a joy. I’m a great believer in poetry for (especially) younger children being accessible with language they can understand and topics they can relate to. I wanted the book to have a great sense of fun to light the poetry spark that is in all of us! It is a poetry book to be used in school and at home. I write about everyday life and the strange, funny, sometimes sad things that can happen in school and at home. However, it has come with its challenges and a feeling of responsibility to ‘get it right.’ Pitching the content and language at just the right level for each Year group was very important’.

It shows us that even when the future appears most bleak, each one of us can make a difference.Trade Review“Narrated in beautiful, uplifting, lyrical verse by the child, this lovely book is about the glorious fulfilment of hope and supports the idea that one small person might change the world. The mixed-media illustrations are stunning and perfectly suit the text… This gorgeous book shimmers with hope and possibilities.” -Kirkus Review, STARRED "I can see this beautiful book being shared with young children as a way to reassure them about all the ongoing stories about climate change that can be frightening. This tells them that they can do small things to make a difference and that planting and caring for trees is something they can all help with. Apart from this important underlying message, it has a calm, slow atmosphere to be relished and enjoyed. Strongly recommended.
