I Believe We Can Fly

Bo knows he is brave. There is only one problem: he does not believe he can fly! His friend Willow knows he can and does her best to convince him to take that leap of faith.

I Believe We Can Fly teaches us that no matter what obstacles we may face or how much doubt we might have, the power of friendship and positive encouragement can help us achieve anything.

I'm Important Too

Have you ever felt lonely or alone? Have you ever felt like everyone is too busy to take time for you? Have you ever felt like you don’t matter at all?

Those feelings are not good at all! It makes us feel sad!

Then one day, someone comes along and makes us feel better. They spend time with us. They talk to us. They play with us. They share their toys with us. They make us very happy. They make us feel important.

So, on those days when you’re sad and blue,

And you don’t know what to do,

Find someone that you can talk to,

And say to yourself…

I’m important too!

Ibsen in the Sky

It is difficult when people tease you and call you names.

You don’t feel good about yourself.

Sometimes it takes another person to point out your value before you can believe in yourself.

Ibsen learns to see his true worth when someone shows interest in him, and discovers he always had value.

Is There a Monster?

It Was Good

Hate crimes involving anti-Semitism, racial bigotry and sexual preferences are growing exponentially in all societies. This book is a simplistic attempt for young minds to understand how hate can be instigated. Through this story, children learn how to overcome prejudice, violence and celebrate each other’s differences. The answer to understanding others is through education starting at a young age. Now more than ever, the subject of this book is badly needed.

Jack, the Pirate with a Secret

This is a fun, action-packed story with a twist at the end to allow for discussion between reader and listener. This could be used as a focus for discussion in PSHE lessons or as a one-to-one chat between the child and parent/carer.

Jack, the main character, is a very likeable and charming pirate. He appears to be extremely courageous. Throughout the story, he is portrayed as a very brave character who steers and leads his ship, The Mucky Duck, through a storm to a place of safety. Clearly, his crew look up to him for inspiration and guidance at a time when they are very afraid, but Jack performs his duties without hesitation. The story frequently reminds the reader/audience that although Jack appears to be brave, he has a secret! The story ends with the crew and The Mucky Duck reaching an idyllic cove where everyone is safe and happy!

A land filled with:

‘Treasure and gold and jewels,

palm trees and coconuts!’

All that Jack wants to do is to go to sleep in his cosy bunk in his cosy little cabin and dream of his adventures all over again!

Jake and the Magic Handle

Jake was bored. He’d had a dull day at school and was walking home. His dog, Jack, had just squeezed through a gap in the hedge and was barking for Jake to join him. Jake didn’t want to but Jack just wouldn’t stop barking. So Jake grumpily crawled through the hedge determined to grab Jack and go home for his tea. He went to grab Jack and as he did so saw something on the ground that changed his life. Find out what Jake and Jack found – it might change your life too!

Jake the Crocodile

In today's society it is easy for adults and children alike to get swept up in social media expectations around what somebody should look like. It is also incredibly easy to jump to conclusions and make judgements about others.

Jake the Crocodile is about taking a step back to not only look at the outside of a person (or crocodile!) but what is on the inside.

It is more important than ever to teach our children to be empathic and Jake will form a special place in your child's heart so they stop and think about their judgements of other people and take the opportunity to see past external appearances to open a whole new world of opportunity for friendship.

Imagine a world where we didn't judge and people were valued for their individual characteristics. Jake will help your child see that there is beauty in everyone, if you just take the time to look.

His remarkable series of adventures eventually see him win the 'One Man and his Dog trophy' competition on television.

He ended up receiving protective gear (helmet elbow and knee pads) for Christmas so he could ride safer. He still didn’t get a new bike, maybe next year!

Just the Job for George

After years of dragon slaying, a drop in the number of dragons means England’s patron saint, St. George, is out of work. With household bills to pay, he decides to turn his hand to a range of other jobs using his trusty dragon-slaying lance, with hilarious consequences.

The real St. George is thought to have been born in Turkey around 280 AD. Legend has it that he was a soldier in the Roman army who rode into Libya and slayed a dragon who was terrorising the city. St. George’s Day is celebrated in England on April 23.
