What Do You See When You Look At A Tree?



This wonderful picture book explores themes of empathy, mindfulness and personal growth through the eyes of a child. Beautifully written and illustrated by the award-winning artist Emma Carlisle, What Do You See When You Look At a Tree? urges readers to reconnect with nature by asking questions that encourage critical thinking and reflection on their own development, as well as helping to establish a deeper appreciation for the environment and their place within it. Stunning watercolour and hand-finished artwork draws parallels to the bestselling The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse, and evokes the classic nostalgia of E. H. Shephard's much-loved Winnie-the-Pooh.


The Station Cat


A stunning picture book about the power of kindness and hope. A lonely little kitten wanders into a dull, grey station, full of dull, grey people. Her colourful fur and bright green eyes bring warmth and life to this weary place, and soon people begin to notice the kitten. As she learns about the different travellers and their struggles from loss and loneliness, the little kitten wants to help fill their world with hope and colour, too. In this timely and important book, author and illustrator Stephen Hogtun shows young readers the pride and sense of purpose that can come from helping others.


Roule Galette


Une galette s'ennuie à refroidir, se laisse glisser de la fenêtre et s'enfuit. Elle roule sur le chemin, bat la campagne, chantonne et échappe à la convoitise d'un lapin, d'un ours et d'un loup. Mais quand le renard l'attire, que va-t-elle devenir ?




La Legende du Colibri



Un jour, il y eut un immense incendie dans la forêt. Les animaux terrifiés assistaient impuissants au désastre. Tous, sauf le petit Colibri qui s'activait, allant chercher quelques gouttes avec son bec pour les jeter sur le feu. "Je fais ma part" répétait-il aux autres animaux incrédules. Une légende amérindienne qui invite chacun à prendre sa part dans la défense de la planète.
