Our latest recommendation for our younger children is: ‘The Littlest Yak’  by Lu Fraser and Kate Hindley.

The Waterstones Review

On the tip of the top of a mountain all snowy, where the ice-swirling, toe-curling blizzards were blowy, in a herd full of huddling yaks, big and small, lived Gertie . . . the littlest yak of them all.

Gertie is the littlest yak in her whole herd, and she's feeling stuck in her smallness - she wants to grow UP and have bigness and tallness!

But when it turns out that there are some things that only Gertie can do, might she come to see that she's perfect, just the way she is?

A rollicking, heart-warming and reassuring story from debut author, Lu Fraser and much-loved illustrator, Kate Hindley.

This week’s recommendation for our older children is: ‘Amazing Islands’ by Sabrina Weiss and Kerry Hyndman.  

 

The Waterstones Review

Discover 100 of the planet's most magical islands - their wildlife, trees, diversity, people, treasures, and more - in this beautifully illustrated book.

From islands that have been taken over by animals to disappearing islands, islands made of shells, artificial islands, and even islands that were once prison colonies!

Amazing Islands is a whirlwind tour of some of the smallest land masses in the world.

Discover the Galapagos islands, home of giant tortoises, penguins, boobies of all colours. Or visit Jiangxin Park in China, a natural island with an awe-inspiring, giant bookshop.

Islands can be home to giant cities, colonies of cats or crabs; they have been hideouts for pirates and have given rise to astonishing scientific discoveries.

Amazing Islands celebrates island life in all its extraordinary diversity.
