Waffle Can't Decide
By Brenda S. Miles, Monika Filipina
Developing solid decision-making skills is a fundamental milestone for children as they learn to navigate the world and all the choices in it. Simply said, Waffle Can’t Decide is a super relatable and engaging story about making decisions and being decisive. Blue socks! Red socks! Striped socks! Within a swirl of indecisiveness, Waffle just can’t decide what to do! And suddenly everything turns into a deciding disaster! Every day we need to all make all kinds of decisions. Some are easy so we don’t need to think about them much. Others are tough and we need time to ponder. Decisions are important for bringing us joy, and they are crucial for survival. Everyday we make observations about the color of sky, the sound of waves, the smell of flowers, the taste of honey, but decision-making is more cerebral and abstract. As young brains develop, understanding how the brain thinks and chooses will help children better navigate the world and all the choices in it.

The Grumpy Ghost Upstairs
By Mamiko Shiotani
"In the quiet attic of a large house lives a little ghost. Alone. Just as he likes it." The little ghost spends long nights swooping up and down, and round and round having fun, all by himself.
He has no need to leave his dark and dusty attic; in fact he's actually rather worried about leaving. Until one day his peace is disturbed by a curious girl. The little ghost sulks: why won't the annoying and slightly scary child leave him alone?
So, the grumpy ghoul decides to do what ghosts do best... But this little girl isn't easily frightened.
This wryly funny story about adapting to change, facing your fears and having the courage to open yourself up to others is brought to life by Japanese author-illustrator Mamiko Shiotani's beautifully soft and textured artwork.

The Paper Bridge
By Joelle Veyrenc, Seng Soun Ratanavanh, Polly Lawson
Anya lives in a paper village, among delicate paper trees and paper houses, where the people are paper-light. Every year the villagers of Paperlee put stones in their pockets to avoid being blown away by the late summer winds. The windy season has long past when Anya is knocked over by a great gust.
What is causing the strange weather? Is it coming from Forestlee, the village on the neighbouring mountain?
Determined Anya has a plan to find out, making a delicate kirigami paper bridge to cross the chasm between the two villages. But what will she find on the other side? Told through stunning, beautifully crafted kirigami scenes, Seng Soun Ratanavanh created a real paper world for debut author Joëlle Veyrencs wonderfully imagined story.
Readers will be enchanted by constructed 3D houses, folded foliage and illustrated characters. The Paper Bridge is a unique modern fairy tale which explores distrust of the unknown and the challenge of living together through climate change.
