A gentle and thoughtful picture book that will appeal to younger children and the adults in their lives. Read more...

The themes of wishes, and wonder, and patiently working to create delight are subtle and sweet... Tiny Wonders is a charming book that will be enjoyed by young readers from 4 to 6 years.

Full of colour, flowers and a moving story about how a young girl uses flowers to spread happiness and bring wonder back into her town... a joy. Highly recommend.

The delicate watercolour illustrations with their cleverly varied layouts complement this gentle story about keeping memories alive, making wishes come true and achieving your dreams through determination and patience.

Sweet and magical... A joyful picture book for young children.

While there are many picture books focusing on the environment, this one that brings it right back to the child and their own back yard is a charmer and offers much scope for change.

Beautifully coloured, this picture book will become an instant favourite for many young readers. The Korean main character is a wonderful opportunity for readers of Asian heritage to see themselves in a book.
