Children

Watch a thousand years unfold in the life of one magnificent tree!

A thousand years ago, a tiny acorn fell to the ground. As the years pass, it grows . . . and GROWS into an enormous oak tree!

As the centuries sweep by, children play games around the tree. Families dance about it. A fleeing king even hides inside its hollow trunk!

The tree gives food and shelter to a host of animals, from squirrels and badgers to birds and beetles.

After a thousand years, the ancient tree finally falls in a storm - but a new acorn sprouts, and the cycle of life begins all over again.

• The tree's magical life story is brought to life in Julia Donaldson's rich, dramatic rhyme.
• Victoria Sandøy's gorgeous, atmospheric illustrations perfectly capture the changing seasons, and the people and wildlife that pass by
• Children will love spotting all the creatures in the pictures, and seeing the games children play around the tree
• This is a book that encourages us all to look more closely at nature, and to appreciate the wonder of our ancient trees.
• The final pages of the book contain extra fascinating facts about oak trees and the animals that depend on them.
• Praise for The Christmas Pine, also by Julia Donaldson and Victoria Sandøy: "Magical . . . as well as paying tribute to tradition, the gentle rhythmic verse and stunning pictures illuminate the two other things close to Julia's heart: the power of children and song"

Emilie has the worst Valentine’s Day ever—only to relive it over and over again. Perfect riotous romantic YA fiction where 50 First Dates meets Groundhog Day.

After living through a dumpster fire of a Valentine’s Day, Emilie escapes to her grandmother’s house for some comfort and a consolation pint of Ben & Jerry’s.

Emilie is stuck in some sort of time loop nightmare that she can’t wake up from as she re-watches her boyfriend, Josh, cheat on her day after day. Not only that but Emilie can’t get away from the enigmatic Nick, who she keeps running into—sometimes literally—in unfortunate ways.

How many days can one girl passively watch her life go up in flames? And when something good starts to come out of these terrible days, what happens when the universe stops doling out do-overs?
