The Dud Bud
With all the catastrophic things that could take place should she bloom, Rosie is certain the only place she wants to be is safely inside her little red bud. But as her floral friends bravely blossom around her in the garden, Rosie must face an uncomfortable truth: the world can indeed be a scary place, but our inner fears are often harder to face. A terrifically tall tale filled with disasters, drama and self-doubt, The Dud Bud beautifully illustrates the power of letting go and the magic to be found in embracing the unknown. www.michaelaskilney.com

Scientists have known this reality for decades - the entire diet industry is based on it - yet we keep on falling for promises of fast, easy, permanent weight loss (and other fictional tales), putting ourselves through rebranded versions of the exact same thing ... and expecting different results. Some might call this insanity - weigh...
