If Creature is not a potato, what could they possibly be??
‘I am a potato’, says Creature. ‘No, you‘re not,’ says Dog. ‘Do you grow underground? Do you have lots of eyes? No? Then you’re not a potato.’ ‘Then WHAT AM I?’ wails Creature. Cat comes along. ‘Do you breathe air? Do you eat and poo? Do you move around? You are an animal!’ But what kind of animal are they? As their identity crisis continues, more animals join the conversation, asking questions and narrowing down the possiblities until they eventually work out the answer.
This is a silly, delightful picture book that nonetheless teaches an important lesson about using the scientific method to draw conclusions by observing, asking questions and eliminating possibilities. Vividly brought to life in Elliot Kruszynski’s punchy, graphic illustrations, taxonomy has never been this fun.

Wherever You Go, My Love Will Follow is a beautiful anthology of eight stories, written as letters of love, for a special person in your life.
This is a stunning, heartfelt collection of short stories told as letters from a parent to a child, encompassing the life lessons they want them to take out into the world.
In Stones, a little bear builds a tower, only to see it come crashing down, but that's okay - it's the chance to start again and dream a new dream. In Sparks, they realise that they don't have to be good at everything all at once - they just have to begin. In Stars, they discover that hope is always there if they're brave enough to look for it.
Beautifully and thoughtfully illustrated, this is a book of wisdom for someone to carry close to their heart, wherever life's journey might take them.
It's a wonderful gift for someone you love, whether that's a child celebrating their graduation or a friend going through a difficult time. The stories cover these themes: love, trying again when at first you don't succeed, having the courage to begin, slowing down and appreciating quieter moments, opening your heart to new experiences, choosing friends that let you be you, knowing that hope can always be found and discovering magic in everyday life.
