The Feather by Margaret Wild & Freya Blackwood From acclaimed illustrator and Kate Greenaway medal winner, Freya Blackwood, comes The Feather. A story of kindness, redemption and hope set in a grey, dystopian world. In a world of shadows and ruin, a majestic feather drifts from the clouds. No one knows where it came from or to whom it once belonged, but the compassion of a pair of ragged siblings sets it free again.

The Second Sky

Enough Apples

by Patrick Guest & Jonathan Bentley

by Kim Kane & Lucia Masciullo Great things happen when you reach for the sky.

An inspiring story about urban greening and creative adaptation to change.

The first thing Gilbert sees when he hatches from his egg is the sky. It is love at first sight and from that moment on Gilbert longs to fly like other birds.

There was once a tiny man who loved apple pie, and the apples from his orchard – tart and sweet and clear – made the perfect filling.

But penguins don’t fly, they waddle, and so begins Gilbert’s quest to find his place in the world.

When his orchards are crowded out by a growing city, he learns how to transform his altered world so he can continue to bake the perfect apple pie.

Dolly & Jack: Deep Breaths

The Sleeping Beauty

by Carol Thompson

by David McAllister & Gabriella Týlešová

eep Breaths Sometimes all you have to do is chill!

Both hilarious and profound, Dolly & Jack: Deep Breaths is a story that promotes mindfulness, and sets a wonderful example of how to manage strong emotions and resolve differences.

The story of The Sleeping Beauty spills over with fairies and princes, passion and despair, magnificence and splendour, and the ballet version of this classic tale is the most romantic and spectacular of all.

Follow along as Dolly and Jack go from happy to mad to sad … and then full circle back to happy.

Australian Ballet Creative Director David McAllister’s impressive 2015 production of The Sleeping Beauty, ornamented by internationally celebrated designer Gabriela Týlešová’s lavish costumes and sets, cast a spell of delight on its audiences, and was a sellout success. Now McAllister and Týlešová weave their magic again, transporting the enchantment to the pages of this book for readers to enjoy again and again.

Ponk!

Sarah and the Steep Slope

by Edwina Wyatt & Christopher Nielsen

by Danny Parker & Matt Ottley A hilarious story about getting back up – literally – every time you fall.

When everything feels like an uphill struggle, your friends will help you get to the top.

Ponk is a flightless bird, but he chooses to live at the top of a tree because of the exciting view. As often as he loses balance and falls, he climbs straight back up again.

Sarah wakes to find a steep hill has sprung up around her house overnight, preventing her from leaving. No matter what she tries, the hill won’t budge. When the Hill Doctor suggests she gets in touch with her friends, Sarah discovers how the healing power of friendship can transform even the steepest slope.

Ponk’s friends find him a less ambitious place to live, but the lower branches have no view. So Ponk returns to the top and clings on to his twig … and doesn’t fall! Driven by curiosity, his friends follow, with laugh-out-loud results.

Just ust wh when sh she felt lt sh shee could ould climb noo fur furthe h her her frieends ds he h ld out ut th heir hands a and and hel helpe ped ed d h her up.

Is Bear Here?

Stitches and Stuffing

by Jonathan Bentley

by Carrie Gallasch & Sara Acton There is no such thing as imperfection when it comes to love.

When you search long and hard for a beloved bear, you may be surprised by what turns up.

Adeline’s beloved Bunnybear goes with her everywhere, but one night he is damaged by the dog. Nanna sews Bunnybear back together, but this new Bunnybear is stiff and strange and Adeline puts him on a shelf and leaves him there. Then Nanna goes away, and Adeline realises it is not just stitches and stuffing that holds Bunnybear together … it is love. 

Jonathan Bentley’s bestselling Where is Bear? has already sold into 14 languages. This is his second title featuring the enormous but loveable bear.

Also available: Where Is Bear?

“It’s very late,” said her mum, “let’s get some sleep.”

What happened to Bear?

Tintinnabula by Margo Lanagan & Rovina Cai Tintinnabula is about breaking free from constraints and finding our own truth; a place within ourselves where we’re truly free. Set against landscapes that will make your heart soar, we follow a girl as she travels from a place of turmoil to a place of peace. The sweet bells of Tintinnabula ring in all of us, and it’s our challenge to make the journey to meet them. Tintinnabula is award-winning author Margo Lanagan’s first foray into the world of picture books. Her elegant writing will delight both existing and new admirers, and her teaming with the inimitable Rovina Cai looks set to become an exciting new creative partnership.

Hills rise and fall like breathi ng. Green, breathing, grassy hills rise—sometimes crowne d with trees (dark)—and a fall.

no itches, In Tintinnabula there are no others, rains no irritations and no angers (silver fall constant but not cold, but cool and cooling only, calming).
