Our Tree
A stunning celebration of tolerance, togetherness and the power of community from the award-winning Jessica Meserve. Little Red is delighted when he discovers a beautiful tree, all to himself! But he soon realises he is not on his own - animals of all sizes visit the tree to enjoy its shade, nibble on its leaves and rest on its branches. Little Red doesn't want to share; he'd rather set off to find a place of his own. But after a mildly perilous altercation with a leopard, Little Red learns the value of friends who have your back. A gentle encouragement of the importance of sharing and acceptance with exquisite, detailed illustrations that are perfect for poring over. Like Hey, Wall by Susan Verde and John Parra, Maybe Something Beautiful by F. Isabel Campoy, Theresa Howell and Rafael López, and Leaves by Stephen Hogtun, Our Tree is a picture book to treasure.

ROWE IRVIN, author of LIFE CYCLE OF A MOTHMany stories are told about the five Mansfield sisters. They are haughty, thinking themselves better than their neighbours in the picturesque village of Little Nettlebed. They have taken the death of their grandmother hard. They are liars, troublemakers, untamed and dangerous... Accounts of their behaviour differ, but the villagers all agree that the girls are odd. One long summer, a heatwave descends. Bloated sea creatures wash up along the parched riverbed, animals grow frenzied, ravens gather on the roofs of those about to die. As the stifling heat grips the village, so does a strange rumour: the Mansfield sisters have been seen transforming into a pack of dogs. With the witch trials only a recent memory, hysteria sets in. Slowly but surely, the villagers become convinced that something strange is taking root in Little Nettlebed. And when a bark finally leads to a bite, the sisters will be the ones to pay for it. Visceral and richly atmospheric, The Hounding plunges its reader into 18th century Oxfordshire, where the power of a man’s word is absolute, and it is safer to be a wild animal than an unconventional young woman. ***'Utterly bizarre in the best way possible' Reader Review'A glorious shimmering heat mirage of a novel' Reader Review'A visceral and consuming fever dream of a book' Reader Review'Tense, almost claustrophobic' Reader Review'Sharp and extremely enjoyable' Reader Review

The Penguin Book of Bengali Short Stories
A landmark new anthology of Bengali literature in English, including many previously untranslated stories 'A splendid guide to unmapped lands… [Sinha] is one of the best living translators at work bringing the Bengali classics into English… he writes with exceptional elegance and wit' Spectator The prose short story arrived in Bengal in the wake of British colonizers, and Bengali writers quickly made the form their own. By the twentieth century a profusion of literary magazines and journals meant they were being avidly read by millions. Writers responded to this hunger for words with a ferocious energy which reflected the turmoil of their times: these stories covered land wars, famine, the caste system, religious conflict, patriarchy, Partition and the liberation war that saw the emergence of the independent country of Bangladesh. Across these shifting geographical borders, writers also looked inward, evolving new literary styles and stretching the possibilities of social realism, political fiction and intimate domestic tales. A first in English, this anthology gathers together a century's worth of extraordinary stories. From a woman who eats fish in secret to the woes of an ageing local footballer, from the anxieties of a middle-class union rep to a lawyer who stumbles upon a philosopher's stone, this is a collection that celebrates making art of life, in all its difficulty and joy.

Part of DK's indispensable Big Ideas series, The Geography Book answers these questions and many more.
The perfect introduction to the subject, it explores and explains the key geophysical and atmospheric processes that have shaped Earth's geology, climate, and ecosystems, and the numerous ways in which they have shaped our lives, and we have shaped them in return - for better or worse. Combining easy-to-follow explanations, innovative graphics, and intriguing quotes, it covers everything from geological mapping and the water cycle to climate change and population demographics.
This fascinating book includes:
• More than 90 of the most important ideas, theories, and milestones in the field of geography - covering physical geography, human geography, environmental geography, and practical geography

The Child-Healthy Divorce
A good divorce is better than a bad marriage, but for children that doesn’t make the split any easier. Legal decisions have emotional consequences. Well-meaning parents can become hostile, insecure, or jealous, and well-adjusted kids can grieve the loss of the family unit, rage at the pain that they feel, or prey on parental guilt.
In The Child-Healthy Divorce, acclaimed psychoanalyst and award-winning author Erica Komisar marshals more than 30 years of clinical experience and extensive research to show readers how to make an effective plan that centres children’s needs, including how to talk about what’s happening, how to maintain normal routines, and what to know about kids of different ages. For example, interrupting a child’s attachment with the primary caregiver before age three can lead to behavioural problems later in life. Teens going to college also need a stable home as a foundation to establish their own independence.
With numerous case studies and practical strategies, the book shows parents how to create age-appropriate custody arrangements, reassure kids without invalidating their feelings, and build a positive support system. It also provides helpful guidance about new partners, blended families, and other special situations. Most importantly, it offers hope.
No one with kids wants a divorce, but if that step becomes necessary, this book can help readers establish the emotional security that their children need for success in life.
