"Kids will love trying to guess what the shadows really are and will be delighted when the authors out-silly them every time." Readings 

Sneaky Shadows uniquely showcases the limitless possibilities of shadow casting in a book of imaginative, absurd misdirection. Its humor, pace and timing will have young audiences on their toes with anticipation, as the bizarre scenarios of author SC Manchild unfold.

This is cheeky, laugh-out-loud fun that inspires repeated readings from children (and parents!) of all ages.

Is imitation the sincerest form of flattery? Or is it just annoying? 

Norton just wants to be unique. The bear wants to be just like him. This is definitely going to be a problem. 

This hilarious read-aloud explores every child's least favorite form of admiration: copying.  It also helps readers deal with the sensitive topics of conformity, individuality, and belonging in an accessible, kid-friendly way. Ultimately, setting boundaries should be empowering for kids, just like it is for Norton.  

"With a message sure to resonate with both trend setters and follower, this story will have wide appeal, especially for those with time to savor the artwork."

"The humour will grab children.... This is a simple, meaningful and visually stunning book that reminds us all that what we look like on the outside doesn’t matter nearly so much as what we are like on the inside." ReadPlus, highly recommended

For the child who struggles with sharing and, really, don't we all?  

Nico is coming over to play, but Sally doesn't want him to touch her toy squirrel. Or her train. Not her parking garage either. Sally's mom said to put the things she doesn't want to share in the wardrobe. As it turns out, there are quite a lot of things Sally doesn't want to share--including her mom. 

This fresh and funny approach to sharing shows just how complicated hiding all the things you love can be. In the end, it might be easier to give sharing a try. Maybe.

“Kids will find the whole concept a hoot and will come away understanding that greed isn’t actually that good….A paean to the realization that while sharing may be caring, it’s also more fun!”  -Kirkus Reviews 

This is the story of Gary Grey Moth who desperately wants to be seen and Florence Butterfly who has had enough of being noticed. What would happen if they swapped cardigans and could each be the bug they always wanted to be?

This fast-paced and perceptive story is about expectations and identity, told from the unlikely but utterly relatable perspectives of a moth and a butterfly. They're not so different, if you really think about it. What will it take to be seen for who they truly are?   

From Melbourne-based author Charlotte Lance and internationally renowned artist David Booth (also known as Ghostpatrol), comes this humorous, insightful coming-of-age junior fiction novel, illustrated in 2/c throughout.
