In My Heart: A Book Of Feelings Jo Witek

Starring the same little girl in the same charming illustration style as Hello In There!, In My Heart explores emotions--happiness, sadness, bravery, anger, shyness and more. 

Unlike other feelings books that tend to oversimplify, In My Heart lyrically explains what an emotion feels like, physically, inside. For example: "When I get really angry, my heart feels like it's going to explode! Don't come near me! My heart is yelling, hot and loud. This is when my heart is mad." 

Toddlers will be empowered by this new vocabulary and able to practice articulating and identifying their own emotions. On the cover and the right side of each spread, a die-cut heart decreases in size, creating a multi-coloured heart the depth of the entire book. 

About the Author

Jo Witek is the author of Hello in There! She is an author, journalist, and screenwriter, who has published several books in France. She lives in France. 

About the Illustrator

Shh! We Have A Plan Board Book - Chris Haughton

Shh! We Have A Plan Board Book - Chris Haughton

From Chris Haughton, the multi award-winning author-illustrator of A Bit Lost and Oh No, George!, comes a picture book about a beautiful bird, four friends and plans gone wrong... 

The friends are out for a walk. Suddenly, they spot it - a beautiful bird perched high in a tree! They simply must have it and - ssh! - they have a plan. So they tip-toe very slowly, nets poised - "Ready one ... ready two ... ready three ... GO!" 

But, at the turn of the page, we find a ridiculous bunch of very tangled characters and a blissfully oblivious bird, flying away. One hilarious foiled plan after another and it's clear that this goofy gang cannot catch that elusive birdie! But the littlest of this group, a quiet spectator up until now, knows that a bit of kindness can go a long way... 

Will his friends follow his gentle lead or will they get themselves into even more trouble? 

The winner of the 2014 Association of Illustrator's Award for Children's Books, Chris Haughton's covetable tale is now in a gorgeous board book edition.

100 Australian Birds - Georgia Angus

100 Australian Birds is a beginner's guide to the world of birdwatching. From the outside, this strange hobby of birdwatching appears to consist of sizeable camera lenses, khaki pants that are pulled up too high, and gruelling treks in pursuit of rare bird species. But for those who haven't been scared off by jumbo field guides and excessive terminology, this book is for you.

Carefully tailored to guide birdwatchers anywhere in Australia, this book reveals insights into one hundred key native species with lush illustrations and accessible descriptions. As well as the author's original illustrations, there are distribution maps, identification methods, behavioral information and contributions from First Nations people on Taungurung, Gumbaynggirr and Wiradjuri names for particular birds.

100 Australian Birds is for anyone interested in birds, culture, history or our environment, but without the geekspeak.

Foreword by Australia's leading scientist Professor Tim Flannery.

Alone - Scott Stuart

Being alone can be tough, especially in the darkness of space.

Earth is an affectionate planet who is looking for a friend. She's delighted when she spots Sun, but Sun is quick to reject her offer of friendship. 'I can't be friends with a planet like you, for I am a star and you are too new.' As Earth searches the solar system, she's met with a similar response from the other planets - Mercury only likes friends who are dry, Mars only makes friends with those who are red, and Jupiter only has time for big friends.

When something fiery, red and menacing comes hurtling towards her, she fears the worst ... but could it be a sign that something wonderful is about to happen?

Alone is an endearing story about how sometimes our worst moments can lead to the best things in life. Perfect for ages 3 and up.

Maybe… - Chris Haughton

From Chris Haughton comes a funny, suspenseful and keenly observed cautionary tale about pushing boundaries and indulging your more mischievous, cheeky side (when nobody is looking).

Three little monkeys, and their big monkey, are sat high up on their branch in the forest canopy. “Ok, monkeys! I’m off," says the big monkey. “Now remember. Whatever you do, do NOT go down to the mango tree. There are tigers down there.” Mmm … mangos! think the little monkeys. They LOVE mangos. Hmm ... maybe … maybe they could just look at the mangos? That’d be ok, right?

Square - Mac Barnett

This book is about Square. Square spends every day taking blocks from a pile below the ground to a pile above the ground. This book is also about Square’s friend Circle. Circle thinks Square is an artistic genius. But is he really?

Understated and striking in its simplicity, this funny, thoughtful offering from two of today’s most talented picture-book creators emphasises the importance of keeping your eyes — and your mind — open to wonder where others see only rubble and rocks.
