Teeny Mouse has spotted the most tasty, juicy, fruitiest tree, but it's a long, long way away, and she'll never make it there on her own...

Faced with challenges along the way, Teeny discovers that only by working together with her friends, who all have their own unique talents, will they all reach the fruitiest tree and enjoy a feast together.

This uplifting and empowering picture book will help young children learn that when we come together, we are not stronger despite our differences, but because of our differences. Along with Teeny, they will understand that we are all different and all special - and that's what makes us stronger together. This celebration of friendship and teamwork will inspire kids to use their diverse gifts and talents as part of a team and to appreciate the gifts and talents of others, too.

Written by bestselling author and TV presenter Katie Piper OBE, and with delightful and vibrant illustrations, children will be keen to join Teeny and her friends on their adventures again and again.

Also in the Teeny Mouse Adventure series is All You Need about finding courage and having faith in yourself when trying out new things and the forthcoming Your Greatest Gift: A Story for Christmas about Love.

A boundary-breaking devotional for 7-11 years that aims to help children know who they are in Christ.

There are so many distractions in life and it's easy to look for answers in all the wrong places, yet this book is an encouragement to look towards Jesus - no matter what's up!

Engaging and fun, easy to read and accessible to all, the hopeful and reassuring words within this book tackle topical issues that young people face. Filled with inspiring Bible verses, purposeful prayers and space to reflect, What's Up facilitates spending time with God and helps to explore our God-given identity. The fun style of the book is eye-catching, and uses a range of engaging, child friendly graphics to bring to life the real-life stories told. This devotional also includes fun facts, challenges and opportunities to reflect and grow.

Based on a range of experiences, Joanna has shared 30 encouragements that speak directly to some of the adventures and setbacks that tweens face as they grow and walk along their path in life. Whether it is reassuring those who lack confidence and are feeling left out, those facing challenging and uncertain choices, or young readers who need reminding that they are important, valuable and heard, the very personal voice of Joanna shines through the pages of this book, supporting, guiding and encouraging readers, whilst being open and honest-rather like a big sister.

Joining Joanna, in cheering all readers on and offering encouragements from their own unique perspectives, are some of Joanna's friends - Rhys Stephenson (TV presenter), Emma Borquaye (Girlgotfaith), Pete Sheath (Creative media director) and Tracy Wood (Salvation Army Children's worker).

What's up is also available as an ebook, and an audiobook with the devotional content read by the author herself, so enabling even the most reluctant of readers to engage with the content.

This empowering and up-lifting picture book by Ellie Goldstein will inspire young children to be free to become whoever they are. Ellie is a powerful story about determination to overcome challenges despite the assumptions of others.

"I know I can do a lot!"

When Ellie Goldstein was born with Down's Syndrome, doctors claimed she could do nothing. Today, she's a supermodel, gracing the covers of Vogue and Glamour, dancing and speaking up for others. This is the story of her 'can do' attitude and determination from the day of her birth to life as an internationally famous fashion model.

Her story encourages children to know that they are each special and to overcome the challenges of life's set backs and frustrations and be seen.

Told she would never walk, Ellie has danced in productions for the Royal Opera House. Told she would never learn; she's gained a college education. And told she would never talk; Ellie uses her voice as a disabled model to speak up for other people with Down's Syndrome, and to transform the face of fashion.

Everyone is different but no matter who you are, you are free to be whoever you were made to be.

The Busy Family Devotional is your short and simple guide to leading your children through Scripture from Genesis to Revelation. A resource to help you all (because family devos ain't just for kids, right?) grow in understanding and relationship with the God who created and loves you.

Life is FULL-ON with kids, isn't it? Above all the chaos and busyness of a modern family, though, is one thing that is SO much more important than whether your kids cleaned their teeth this morning - and that is nurturing our children's relationship with Jesus through God's Word, the Bible. But fitting this into busy family life sometimes feels impossible. That's where this book comes in. Treat it like a Best Friend to Busy Christian Parents Everywhere. Wherever you feel you are on your faith journey, you can start using this guide together as a family. You don't need a Theology degree or any specialist Bible knowledge = everything you need is right here.

Each devotion consists of an ice breaker - a bit of fun!; context for the story connecting to the previous reading; Bible reading reference; three questions for fun, lively discussion based on the reading; a prayer prompt and an optional memory verse and symbol to colour to connect with the message from the reading. And that's it! No preparation needed and no need to find glue sticks and pom poms.

A devotional for 52 sessions that could take a few months, or a year or two. Whatever works for you and your busy family lives.
