Congratulations to Susan Quinn on the publication of MY MUM from Quarto Books on February 27th.
The story celebrates the bond between mother and child and follows them as they take on life's big and small adventures - together. From sailing a ship around the garden and exploring forests, streams and meadows, to telling stories in a cosy den and cuddling before bedtime, a child reveals all the simple yet amazing things she loves to do with her wondrously adventurous mum.

Karen McCombie’s latest MG novel – ‘World of Wanda’ – was one of The
Observer’s Children’s Books of the Month for January. The story was
partly-inspired by her son’s ADHD diagnosis, which coincided with her
developing the dual-voice story of Wanda and Margot. ADHD very quickly and
naturally became part of Wanda’s character.
Twelve-year-old Wanda doesn’t go to school, because she and her mum are
too busy back-packing around the world. The trouble is, Wanda is homesick for a
home that doesn’t exist. When she finds out a secret her mum has been keeping
from her, Wanda decides it’s time to have an adventure of her very own.
Meanwhile, back in the UK, 14-year-old Margot isn’t prepared for the shock
that’s about to land on her doorstep…

Gathering the Glimmers, written and illustrated by Ffion Jones was published on January 30th, from Tiny Tree Press.
Glimmers are brief everyday moments that spark a sense of joy by reminding us of the beauty in simple things.
A little girl called Wren is
on her way home through a dark forest when she gets lost. In the forest there
are many triggers, which evoke her fear and anxiety.
Yet through the darkness, Wren is able to notice glimmers all around her; in
the leaves, the sunlight, and ultimately within herself.
