Anna Ross
A gentle, sensory celebration of everyday happiness. Children encounter rain, earth, puddles, plants, stars, movement, books and cuddles, alongside families spending time together. The book’s central invitation is to pause, notice and share what feels joyful.
Nicola Morgan
This is a practical guide to brains, wellbeing and learning, inviting children to explore ideas through facts, questions, quizzes and activities rather than simply reading explanations.
Mikołaj Pa
This is a lively shared-reading book centred on noticing who lives in a building, what each neighbour enjoys and how separate activities become a collective celebration.
Nadine Robert
A gentle adventure about curiosity becoming a shared project. Arthur and his father respond to rumours about the forest by building towards a view beyond it, while bread, neighbours, a storm and a dog add warmth, suspense and opportunities to notice how the community responds.
Ian Hayward Robinson
A thoughtful picture book built around one question: different family members offer different answers, while Henry searches for an answer he can grasp. Its colourful illustrations and unusual page orientation invite looking as well as listening.
Peter Brown
A warm, nature-focused story about belonging and care. Roz learns by observing the island’s animals, while raising Brightbill gives the story a family relationship and a reason to explore migration, instincts and seasonal change.
Jess Racklyeft
Expect a curiosity-led city adventure built around an unlikely friendship. Its main appeal lies in the contrast between Catherine’s orderliness and Big Cat’s wild, chaotic nature, alongside detailed artwork and discoveries hidden in familiar places.
Rachel Tilda Wolf
A gentle, fantastical story about a statue searching for a place where she feels important and accepted, then discovering the warmth of familiar community. City scenes and animal characters support the emotional journey.
Linda Burgess
A gentle family story centred on Rosie’s imaginative wrapping game, moving through familiar objects, caring relatives, bedtime upset, and the arrival of a new baby sister.
