Blue Sky Baby
(A PIcture book for 3+ years)
In this story a collection of photos tells us of the life of Anna who loves the seaside with its blue skies.
The book is a basic introduction to the human life cycle for children. Told through a mix of hand painted watercolour pictures and an easy to recall rhyming text which enables a child to engage and interact with the story. The book offers a chance to discuss the changes that occur to us as we get older, for children to notice how our bodies change and to share some of the events that might happen in our lifetimes.
Leon the Littlest Lion
Leon the Littlest Lion is not quite a lion, but he’s brave enough to be one. When he’s mistaken for a miniature lion and joins The Great Ball’s Circus, Leon finds adventure, danger, and a best friend named Cedric—a real lion with a very big roar. But someone wants to steal Leon, and it’s up to him and Cedric to protect the circus and each other. With daring escapes, roaring performances, and a royal surprise, this is a heartwarming tale of friendship, courage, and finding where you truly belong.
