This dark moving collection was inspired by a visit to Cornwall in 2023 where Bryony tells us
'Sitting by the ocean is both euphoric and devastating, a little bit like sitting with your feelings'
Poetry is something often very personal, this collection certainly is. I feel that each poem read will be interpreted differently by different individuals.
Each person will take away something possibly personal to themselves, be it joy or heartache. We may not even interpret it the way the author had envisioned. Sadly for some readers they will find themselves in the very shoes this beautiful creative person wears herself.
I had mixed emotions reading this collection even the dark cover hints at the sadness held within the pages. Highly recommended but sensetive souls should take note of the content warnings before delving into the elements....more
Two boys set out to get themselves a pet cat but they end up coming home with a dragon they call Ember.
Alas things don't go sWOW what a fabulous story
Two boys set out to get themselves a pet cat but they end up coming home with a dragon they call Ember.
Alas things don't go smoothly as the little Dragon is only a baby and needs some training. We love how the story flows rhythmically across the pages with bright illustrations. Some great tongue twisting words kids will have fun with.
Another stunningly gorgeous picture book of empowerment.

You cannot fail to be wowed by the 'Unconditional Love Series' by Michael Wong. Some of our all time favourite stories to read. Each and every book always brings a special message to children. This one encouraging little ones to be the 'Best that they can be'.
The words flow rhythmically through the stunning images that children will love to follow along with. Each unique story in the series will have at least one image that each and every will be able to relate to. Each wonderful book embraces diversity and inclusion.
The story tells the children it may not always be easy, you may at times stumble or even fall but keep working at it and you will achieve your goals.
We love that the beautiful images are magically created by Eugene Smolenceva and are inspired by famous people. All shown at the back of the book with a little info on each.
Miss Ruby Heart loves these stories most of all because pretty puppies of different breeds are dotted through the pages. Again the pups are mentioned at the end of the book. They are the friends and loyal companions of the children featured. Ruby gives the book and indeed the whole series her 'Paw-fect' score. ...more

This phenomanal fun rhyming read is going straight onto our 'Bookshelf of Favourites' It follows in the footsteps of the classic nursery rhyme ' A Partridge in a Pear Tree' and also made us think of 'The Old Lady who Swallowed a Fly' for some reason.
The illustrations are fabulous with a whole host of diverse characters that children from around the globe, and of varying disabilities will be able to relate to. We love all the sheep and the 'coos'. As we were reading we kept slipping into a very bad Scottish accent but it all added to the fun of reading. It's a great counting tool too.
Our favourite character is of course the 'WEE RASCAL' pup she is so cute. The ending is so brilliant we have the 'BIGGEST' smiles upon our faces.
VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED we're off to read it again. Miss Ruby Heart LOVES it and gives it...more
