Personally, I love cats and books about cats. Paris Cat is not only that, but it happens in the glamourous era of the 1920s-30s. Cat is determined to change her life and so she does! There are books that put you to sleep, and there are books that keep you awake. Last is a book that hits you from the moment you see its cover. Nicola Davies' striking words and illustrations about the last living Rhino are urgent and necessary in today's world. And finally, we are publishing our first novelty book in 2020. Little ones will have lots of fun unfolding the pages of Where's Baby Elephant? to look for the elephant and finding other animals on the way.

BLOOM Anne Booth Illustrated by Robyn Wilson-Owen
There was once a beautiful flower and a little girl who loved it. She talked to it every morning on her way to school. The owner of the flower shouted at her. The next day, the flower did not open. The angry man didn’t understand. He tried watering it. He tried giving it shade and he tried talking to it. He told it how wonderful he was, how important his job was and how lonely he felt. But it still refused to open. So, he asked the little girl. “Why don’t you tell it how wonderful it is and how much you love it?” she said. As he did so, his own heart filled with love. And the flower bloomed. The perfect book for young children to talk about feelings, positive thinking and friendship • Paperback • ISBN:978-1-910328-44-6 • Publication: 17 April 2020 • Price: £7.99 • 32 pp • 200 x 270 mm• Age: 4+ • All Rights Available

There’s Room for everyone Anahita Teymorian
A child grows and discovers the world. As he lies awake at night, he sees there’s enough room in the sky for all the stars and the moon. When he visits the ocean, he sees there is enough room for all the fish, even for the whales. As he grows up, he doesn’t understand why people fight for space. Surely, if we are kinder to one another, there will always be room for everyone?
Last Nicola Davies
A rhinoceros is captured by poachers and put in a zoo in the middle of a grey city, where all he can do is pace back and forth. He misses his home in the wilds of Sudan, his mother, the smell of earth and rain. He fears he may be the last of his kind. Then one day, he is rescued and released back into the wild, to live free with the other rhinos. A deeply moving picture book about wildlife conservation from renowned zoologist and children’s book author Nicola Davies. • • • •

Chalk Eagle
Duncan Annand
Nazli Tahvili
While a bluebird builds her nest in the forest, two eccentric gentlemen have a more ambitious construction in mind: a vast palatial building, made from birdcages filled with colourful parrots. As the trees come down and the structure goes up, the bluebird watches on. More and more caged birds are consigned to their fate until at last a huge dome completes the work. But when the celebrating architects go in to admire their creation, the little bluebird brings their ambitions crashing down around them.
A young boy living in the heart of a busy city spots an eagle swooping overhead. He dreams of what it would be like to fly away from the noise and soar over mountains and rivers. Climbing onto the roof, he uses chalk to draw his own eagle – and then himself – into existence. The two fly away together, and embark on a wonderful adventure of the boy’s own imagination.
