Some Great Books for Mothers Day and Easter.

BOOK OF THE WEEK
BENEATH THE WAVES BY
HELEN AHPORNSIRI
CHILDREN 5+
A stunning exploration of
what lies hidden beneath the waves. Each chapter explores a different
ocean realm brought to life with exquisite and intricate collages
solely created with sea-weeds and coastal plants. Marvel at how Helen
transforms silky seaweed, feathery algae and bright coastal blooms
into playful penguins, underwater cities and ocean giants. A
beautiful gift to treasure for Mother's Day and a delightful
alternative to an Easter egg. Perfect for nature and animal lovers.

LITTLE TIGERS BY JO WEAVER
PICTURE BOOK 3+
Mother Tiger and her two cubs journey through the jungle searching for a new home. Will they find refuge behind a waterfall, up in the trees, in a cave or a temple? These striking charcoal and sepia illustrations perfectly capture the tiger family and the parental bond. Also the story could start a discussion about either moving house or conservation of tigers. A moving and thought-provoking story to share on Mother's Day.

FOLLOW ME, LITTLE FOX BY CAMILA CORREA & SEAN JULIAN
PICTURE BOOK 3+
When Little Fox finds city life too noisy and busy Mummy Fox takes him on an adventure into the countryside. A beautifully illustrated reminder of the importance of playing and spending time in the outdoors and appreciating all the sights, smells and sounds. It also will create an appreciation of nature. A lovely book to share on Mother's Day and it hopefully will inspire young children to plant seeds and watch them grow.

ONE SHOT BY TANYA LANDMAN
YOUNG ADULT 13+
A coming of age drama inspired by the life of sharpshooter Annie Oakley. An insightful and gripping novella that depicts a young woman's fight for a better life in the Wild West of 19th Century America. A story about hope, ambition and overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles. A gripping tale that is perfectly pitched for dyslexic and reluctant readers as well as book clubs. A powerful story of a girl in a man's world that really hits the bullseye.
