**AWARDED A MUMSNET RATED BADGE 2017** ‘Exceeded my expectations! In-depth introduction to weaning, including useful nutritional information, plus lots of lovely recipes appropriate to each stage of weaning – and the ones for toddlers are fantastic for the whole family to share, too!’Mumsnet Reviewer Weaning my little ones was a joyous, messy and occasionally testing experience! This book aims to help you through the next development phase: introducing your baby to the colourful, flavourful, wonderful world of food. The thought of weaning can be daunting to the most self-assured mums and dads. I know I felt that way, even with my third! But while every baby is different, one thing is the same for all parents: the importance of serving them delicious, nutritious dishes with minimal fuss and maximum benefits. There is no one-size-fits all approach and there are decisions to be made: spoon-feeding purees or baby-led weaning? What equipment don’t you need and where should you spend extra? With so much contradictory advice out there, I wanted to provide a go-to guide that arms you with everything you need to know as your baby starts on solids. You’ll read about the basics of good nutrition; techniques; equipment; ages and stages (what they can have, and when). I’ll also share my go-to recipes for the key stages in the first 15 months, developed over the process of weaning my three children. These are simple, easy-to-follow meals and plans that require minimal prep time, make the most of your ingredients and won’t break the bank. I’ve also provided recipes for the months and years that follow, including sections on feeding the entire family (the ultimate goal!) and the perfect things to serve at party time. There will be testing moments but there will be joyous ones too – I’ll never forget the look on my children’s faces when they first tasted baby rice! So take a deep breath, trust your intuition and dive in! Love, Holly xxx

The latest installment in the Sarabande Series in Kentucky Literature, Mare’s Nest explores a Kentucky horse farm in its turbulent beginnings. From Kentucky native and Brooklyn-based poet Holly Mitchell, Mare’s Nest troubles the meaning of a racehorse, in particular the broodmare and the foals she carries. Reaching from the photographic experiment of Muybridge’s "The Horse in Motion" to Patti Smith’s album Horses, Mitchell touches upon history, dreams, Southern family stories, and queer adolescence in the early aughts. Colloquially referring to a muddled situation or an illusory discovery, the term “mare’s nest” can also refer quite literally to the soft depression left by a horse lying in grass. And so the idea of a “mare’s nest," in all of its linguistic potential, serves as the central focus for Holly Mitchell’s meditative debut.

Inspired by the creator’s love of all things 80s including Hello Kitty, My Little Pony, Rainbow Brite, retro comic books, and Lisa Frank, this picture book told in comic panels is brimming with cuteness, accessible quirk, and a feel-good message of kindness. Bea loves helping friends and wants to be a superhero, but none of the costumes she tries on fit her personality. While Bea’s world is anything but ordinary, the things she accomplishes with her creativity and preparedness are all things a regular kid--with a big heart, a healthy dose of confidence, and an inflatable turtle--could do. This is a perfect intro to reading stories told in sequential pictures and a way for emerging readers to take an active role in following the narrative. And when readers fall in love with Bunnygirl, they won’t have to worry because she has another adventure coming soon. "Berbay has produced a delightful book that retains the distinctly kawaii feel of Jayne’s original artworks…. Bunnygirl’s message of kindness as a superpower is lovely for little ones to discover." Books + Publishing"A great early introduction into graphic novels, and its simple word choice makes for a wonderful easy reader." School Library Journal
