Every month Dad takes his little boy to the hairdresser and they both have a trim together. Then one day, after Dad allows him to have a different type of haircut, everything changes. Dad isn’t around anymore and no one takes him to the hairdresser. His hair gets longer and longer and his feelings get more and more overwhelming. Will mum and dad be able to work together to help him?

We love it when brilliant books get made into boar

We love it when brilliant books get made into board books so that even the littlest readers can join in too. This is all about Ruby who has a little worry. The more she thinks about it, the more she worries, and the bigger the worry gets. Tom Percival’s series is excellent for getting children to talk about their feelings and this is the first to be released as a board book (£7.99) 💛

When Roopa's sister sadly died of cancer at the st

When Roopa's sister sadly died of cancer at the start of 2020, little did she know how difficult her period of grief would be. As a newly trained doctor in the midst of a crisis, working on A&E and acute medical wards, this book is a memoir of the first 40 days of the pandemic. Roopa, who you may remember from her school event at Saddleworth High School, is the most down to earth and lovely person. Her warmth and honesty shines through in this memorable book (£14.99).

A great little picture book for introducing children to the harm that we can do to animals with plastic pollution.

A gentle story but with an important message (£6.99) ♻️💛

Do you remember the Famous Five adventure stories?

Do you remember the Famous Five adventure stories? Roll a dice to decide what happens next in the story? We both loved them and now this is a fancy modern take on it! Not for the faint-hearted, this is a story of an explorer who has been in a helicopter crash. He has to make decisions about which route he will take, how he will act and what equipment he needs. Each decision is accompanied by a spinner to tell you what the outcome of the decision is (warning - it's not always a good decision!!). In addition to this, it's a really detailed look at exploring and survival - think Bear Grylls. This is a brilliant book and something special to buy with Christmas money/vouchers (£20).

This has been a brilliant cosy, feel-good book to

This has been a brilliant cosy, feel-good book to read last week. When Nurse May is sent to Yorkshire to look after Mr and Mrs England’s children it doesn’t take long before strange things start happening. Something doesn’t seem right with Mrs England and it feels like there is a house full of secrets with no allies to turn to. A great mix of suspense and drama, all with a classic (think Jane Eyre) feel. This kept me gripped until the very end and I’m still thinking about it. Highly recommended and part of our 3 for £25 💛
