Richard Rogers Talking Buildings introduces young readers to the work of one of the 20th Century's most influential architects for the first time. Written by his son, Ab Rogers, the book pays homage to Richard's passion for legibility in architecture, each building tells its own story in a playful, informative language designed to intrigue, engage and inspire young minds. In addition to exploring the architect's groundbreaking work, it celebrates his commitment to innovative building design that drives social and environmental change and shines light on his vision for a city that is fair and fun for all, his ethos as relevant today as ever before. The book marks the opening of the exhibition of the same name at the Sir John Soane Museum, which runs from the 18th of June to the 21st of September 2025.

These perforations can also be used to add wooden pegs or thread yearn in order to add details to the illustrations.

Dogs are our best fiends, and yet we can't tell for sure what happens when they go to sleep, until now. With this book, narrated by a dog, you can learn everything about it, probably. Featuring quirky and humorous illustrations by Joe O'Donnell, with a variety of dog breeds and situations which will challenge everything you thought you knew about canine dreams. The shape of the book is inspired by a dreamy cloud. The illustrations feel digital but are actually hand painted, and the texture will be visible in printing.

Baby's crying! One by one each member of the family tries to console her, but nothing seems to work. Only when the family work together do they finally manage to make her smile again. This board book uses bold colours and a unique format, where each page is an overlapping semi-circular shape to create baby's and her family's faces. The appearing and disappearing faces throughout the book's pages are a nod to peek-a-boo games and will encourage toddlers to be involved and interested. When closed shut, the book's pages come together to form a giant rainbow, meaning that the book can be displayed frontally as a glorious decoration piece on the shelf.

Thereza Rowe has contributed her wonderfully distinctive illustrations, and the book’s format is uniquely custom-designed to be spread into a sculptural colourful shape. Emotions include: proud, happy, sad, loving, frustrated, excited, scared, brave and curious!
