Our October books are out now!

It’s our October publication week! And it’s a special bumper month for us, with all our Christmas books out now. Here’s what you can find in bookshops today – there’s something for everyone.

We’ve published a lovely new board book edition of Just Right for Two, written by Birdie Black and illustrated by Rosalind Beardshaw – a lovely story with a perfect Christmas message celebrating the joy of giving. One snowy Christmas Eve, the king buys some soft red cloth to make a cloak for the princess. Little does he know that the left-over cloth will be used to make presents for many more of the kingdom’s inhabitants, right down to the last teeny bit of cloth, which is just right to make a scarf that will protect the smallest mouse from the winter chill. With rhythmical writing and heartwarming, charming illustrations, this is a wonderful Christmas story. Here’s a look inside:

But one particularly cold day, no one wants to play and Snow Bunny is left all alone. Whatever will she do? With a little luck and a LOT of imagination, she makes cosy winter gifts for all her friends, just in time for Christmas Eve.
