Rainbow ShirleyShirley has rainbow hair
Frizzy, curly, poofy rainbow hair. Everywhere Shirley goes, people notice her. They point. They stare. They talk. And Shirley is tired of being seen for only one thing.

With a little help from the ever-agreeable Mr. Trimble, Shirley begins to discover that being herself might be the bravest choice of all. A funny, tender picture book about identity, confidence, and learning to love the part of you the world notices first. Ages 3 to 10 |

The Button Tree
Penny Potts loves to help people, even when they are being most difficult.
That is exactly why, during the rainiest rain that ever rained, she stops to rescue a tiny white mouse from going all the way down the gutter. It is also why a very peculiar gentleman named Archibald Bartholomew Copperpot Drinklethorn Eatherby, the Twenty-Sixth, for those who are counting, chooses her for a most unusual gift. A button. Not an ordinary button, of course. Before disappearing aboard a driverless trolley, the strange man leaves Penny with one puzzling instruction: Give it what it needs. But what, exactly, does a button need? |

Beyond the Valley of the Tall OnesA fallen star.
A fading chance. And a journey far beyond the Valley… The Titan Gene is at it again—and this time, Tom, Clara, and even Charlie are running out of time. With only a broken piece of the Heartstone to keep Charlie calm, Riley sets out across the border with Milo and Charlie to search for the rumoured second fallen star… the only source of a legendary mineral that can stop the transformation for good. But once they leave the Valley, nothing is simple. The world beyond is colder, stranger, and filled with dangers Riley never imagined. As Charlie’s condition worsens and the land grows more unforgiving, the three friends push deeper into the unknown—toward a secret that will change everything they thought they knew about the Titan Gene, the giants… and Riley’s own family. A new adventure begins at the edge of the world - and the truth waiting beyond is bigger than any of them. |
