Glassborn- Peter Bunzl

I’m delighted to be rounding off the celebrations for the publication of Glassborn by Peter Bunzl which launched yesterday. I've been a huge fan of Peter's writing since Cogheart with its ability to address the shadows of our ordinary lives and shine a light of hope for healing through the realms of historically inspired fantasy.

By Rowan and Oak- Melissa Harrison

Magical Kingdom of Birds- The Snow Goose by Anne Booth illustrated by Rosie Butcher

Christmas is coming and we are returning to a wintery take in The Magical Kingdom of Birds that I honestly think is the best so far, the plot is thrilling and the kindness and growth throughout us beautiful. Children really resonate with Maya and no doubt warm to her advice to a little Snow Goose …
