To celebrate Eid, Abdullah's parents give him a cuddly teddy bear. The bear used to belong to Abdullah's dad, his abba, and it has a name, but Abba won't say what it is! Abdullah and his new bear become inseparable, but he can't guess what its name is. His siblings, friends and classmates all have suggestions -- Bertie, Katie, Olivia, Edward -- but none of them feels right. Then one night, when Abba tells a story from long ago in Pakistan, Abdullah remembers his family's traditions and has an idea. What if the bear has a name like his name? In this sweet but powerful story, children will learn to value their cultural heritage and about the special bonds between family generations. Yasmin Hanif wrote Abdullah's Bear Needs a Name! after working with schoolchildren on a project to tackle the lack of diversity in children's books. The story was inspired by the real-life experience of children from South Asian backgrounds defaulting to traditionally European names for a teddy bear. Sophie Benmouyal's bold and fun illustrations are full of character, texture and authentic details.

"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.

To put her to the test, the queen ordered a single pea be placed underneath a huge pile of mattresses and quilts. Would the young woman be shown to be a real princess after al? his beloved version of the classic Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale is wonderfully brought to life with soft, colourful illustrations by popular illustrator Maja Dusíkova.
