Everything seems to go wrong for Melinda.
A young kitten explores the wilderness as other animals celebrate spring.
Emily loves animals so much that she can't resist bringing them home. When a local farmer feels under the weather, she is only too eager to "feed the lambs, milk the cows and brush the rams." The farmer is so grateful for Emily's help that he gives her a giant egg... Can you guess what happens after that? The rhythmic verse begs to be read aloud, and the lively pictures will delight children as they watch Emily's collection of pets get bigger and bigger.
How do you paint the colour of laughter, or the flutter of birds, or the whimsy of the wind? Lucy, a thoughtful girl with a brush, a smock, and a sassy cat, is determined to find out.

And worst of all, the rabbit isn’t the only visitor keen to make their voice heard. Acclaimed author-illustrator Eugenie Fernandes delivers a rich picture book about the value of independence and self-expression.
Inspired by true events, One Hen tells the story of Kojo, a boy from Ghana who turns a small loan into a thriving farm and a livelihood for many.
