Not Like Every Day
For Henry, lockdown drills can be scary. Staying quiet and still is tough, but with the support of his teacher, he?s able to stay calm. This reassuring story explores the complex emotions surrounding school lockdown drills and includes helpful resources from a school psychologist and safety expert.I wish today was like every other day.But it isn?t.Today my stomach is twisted in the middlelike a bunch of tissue paper butterflies.During his school''s lockdown drill, Henry tries to make himself as small, and still, and quiet as possible, but even though he knows it''s just a drill and it''s not real, he still doesn''t like it. And even when the drill is over, it doesn''t feel over for him. Luckily, Henry''s teacher is there to offer guidance and reassurance. Together, they practice breathing exercises and focus on what Henry can smell right now to help anchor him in the present. And, most importantly, they talk about his feelings until he feels safe?until the tissue paper butterflies in his stomach untwist and fly away. With poetic prose and gentle artwork, this accessible picture book serves as an ideal starting point for discussions about lockdown drills and includes helpful resources for parents and teachers, such as discussion questions, a mindfulness exercise guide, and best practices for reducing the potential for trauma when conducting lockdown drills.
Ghost Army
During World War II, a 1,100-man unit known as the Ghost Army was sent to Europe with an important mission: mislead Hitler’s forces as to the size and location of Allied troops so that those troops would have time to carry out urgent plans of their own. This unit of artists, musicians, actors, architects, set designers, and engineers came together to construct “shadow soldiers” and put on a traveling show of deception for over twenty different campaigns throughout the war, using everything from fake radio transmissions to inflatable tanks to convince the enemy of their presence.
The Breast is Yet to Come
The laugh-out-loud, spot-on comic collection that every nursing mum (and supportive dad!) needs—the perfect funny new mum gift! With over 100 witty cartoons, The Breast is Yet to Come transforms the chaos of breastfeeding into comedy gold. From the mechanics of nursing to pop culture parodies, it’s a refreshing, relatable take on the ups and downs of feeding a baby. Featuring diverse illustrations, The Breast is Yet to Come puts a playful spin on everything from Shakespeare to Picasso, Newton to da Vinci. Lady Macbeth scrubs at stubborn breastmilk stains ('Out, damn’d spot!'), the Vitruvian Woman nurses her baby in a hilarious twist on da Vinci’s classic, and Goldilocks eavesdrops as three baby bears debate nipples that are too soft, too hard, and just right. Breastfeeding is incredible—but it’s also messy, exhausting, and sometimes downright absurd. A good laugh is the best remedy for sleep deprivation, and The Breast is Yet to Come delivers. Perfect for new parents, baby shower gifts, and anyone who’s been there, this book is a reminder that no one’s alone in the wild ride of parenthood.
Horse Camp
Willa is head-over-hooves when she finds a secret note inviting her to Juniper Ranch - a sleepaway camp that’s all about horses. The camp promises trail rides, horseback swims, and “ghost” stories, plus tons of new horse-girl and (gasp!) horse-boy friends. Even better? Willa’s pals from Oakwood Riding Academy - including her sworn frenemy, Amara - are all coming along for the fun. But when Willa makes a dangerous mistake and a beloved steed goes missing, everyone at Juniper Ranch is suddenly a suspect. Wills isn’t sure who to trust (including herself) as she tries to figure out who’s behind the mysterious horse napping. And where they might be lurking. And just how she’ll save her “forever herd” before a frightening storm rolls into camp. Gulp!
So Over Sharing
Quiet, introverted Hadley and rough-around-the-edges Willow have one big main thing in common: both their mums have gained a huge online following sharing every detail of their lives. Hadley’s mum - Phoebe of @PhoebeAndJay fame - loves to share all the terrible, down and dirty bits about raising kids while Willow’s mum Rosalind at the up-and-coming @MoonbeamsAndMarigold basks in the glow of motherhood. If getting all her life's moments (including an almost decade old viral potty training video) shared online isn't enough, Hadley’s starting a new school in a new neighbourhood and desperately trying to keep her mum’s identity a secret while Willow is struggling with a recent life-changing announcement from her mum who, it turns out, is not getting out of the influencer world anytime soon. As the two girls build a friendship and share the pains of having mumfluencers, they come up against the same question - how long will they have to share their lives with everyone?
The River of Caregiving
Caregiving flows through a little girl’s family in so many ways, like a river connecting them all. Her grandfather cares for her by picking her up from school with a snack and a smile, and she cares for him by keeping him company at his doctors’ appointments with a snack and a smile. Her mother helps her grandmother get ready for the day, just as her grandmother once helped her mother. And when the relatives send packages to each other, their caring makes them feel closer. Through occasions big and small, it’s a comfort to know this river of love is ever-present, and her family will always be there for each other. Jocelyn Chung’s evocative text and Sarah Gonzales’ gorgeous pictures remind us that our family’s love is a gift to be treasured.

Little Red loves to visit his great-grandfather. He makes the trip through the woods any time of year! The best part is when Little Red meets Fred along the way. Fred is the bestest, fluffiest, most amazing KITTY in the whole wide world (nevermind that Little Red is completely oblivious to the fact that Fred is, in fact, a very hungry wolf that is trying to EAT HIM). When Fred gets hurt (from a trap HE set for Little Red), Little Red takes his injured friend to Great Grandfather''s house. That''s when Great Grandfather tells Little Red that Fred is actually ... a DOG?! EVEN BETTER. (Poor Fred.)Little Red''s positive outlook is contagious in this picture book about an unlikely friendship, the power of kindness, and keeping an open heart from the creator of Witch & Wombat and Sheepwrecked.
