Daniel Egneus – Tisha and the Blossom
We all have busy lives and little Tisha and her family are no exception. With life always moving at such a pace, Tisha must ‘hurry up’ to get ready for school on time, ‘hurry up’ to finish her drawings before break time, and ‘hurry up’ to tidy up before she goes home. But hurrying up all the time can be exhausting. Thankfully, Tisha’s Mummy knows a special game to help them all slow down when everything becomes too much . . .
‘Tisha and the Blossom’ is a beautiful story sensitively illustrated by Daniel Egneus about allowing more mindfulness and stillness into children’s lives. Available this April from OUP.
Susan Batori – Don’t Call Me Fuzzybutt!
Bear is a very light sleeper, so when Woodpecker wakes him he becomes quite grumpy!

‘Don’t Call Me Fuzzybutt!’ is a brilliantly funny picture book illustrated by Susan Batori which will spark meaningful conversation about conflict resolution, gossip, and the hurt caused by name-calling.
