ª!HSLHQBy9 1370z

A gentle and moving picture book about how looking on the bright side might not always be the brightest solution. Walrus is such a good friend. In fact, he’s so good at cheering friends up and finding the bright side in any situation that sometimes his friends call him ‘Wowrus.’ But when Walrus breaks a tusk during the Great Iceberg Classic, it hurts! He doesn’t want to hear about the silver linings of having only one tusk! As he nurses his wound, Walrus starts to understand that pointing out the positive doesn’t always help. It takes Narwhal listening to him for Walrus to realise that perhaps not everything can—or should—be bright all the time ... and that’s okay too.

KEY SELLING POINTS: • A warmhearted story about kindness and empathy that shows children the difference between trying to cheer someone up and simply listening. • A gentle introduction to big feelings, by helping children understand that it’s okay to feel sad or upset— and that they don’t always need to ‘look on the bright side’. • British-Australian illustrator Caroline McPherson’s Arctic animal characters bring warmth and humour. • Great conversation starter for families and classrooms, encouraging children to listen with empathy.

Most kids have five senses. Rosie has six. Eleven-year-old Rosie can sense colours—and she thought everyone else could, too. After the first meeting of her middle school’s maths league ends in confusion, Rosie wonders why nobody seems to know that every letter, number and song has a special hue of their own.

But when Rosie’s secret gets out, rumours start to spread. The maths league’s first tournament is only a few weeks away, and no one trusts the girl with ‘brain colours’ anymore. With difficult friendships and a competitive academic club to navigate, can Rosie find the courage to embrace her unique gift after all?

The one thing they all have in common? They’ve noticed strange and disturbing occurrences around the island. Wildlife is disappearing. The weather is volatile. Pockets of land are scorched. Could Never Land be dying? Tink ventures off to London in search of answers. While stranded there by the rain, she spends time with the most curious humans—the orphans James, a young inventor whose passion rivals her own, and Peter, a charismatic storyteller. And she grows attached to the orphans James looks after at the boys’ hospital. Wondering if they can help each other, Tink takes the boys back to Never Land—where a perfect storm awaits: power-hungry pirates, betrayal, heartbreak, and an unforgiving ticking clock. Soon Tink must forge a new path and imagine a new future for Never Land ... or lose everything she’s grown to love.
