We Need to Talk About Divorce is a kid-centric guide for the children of parents going through a separation or divorce. Children of separating or divorcing parents often feel alone and alienated, as though no one (including themselves!) understands what they’re going through.

🔔 NEW BOOK ALERT 🔔 We’re thrilled to announce this encyclopaedia of mind-boggling random facts! Heard about the lizard that shoots blood from its eyes? Or the ancient Romans who used pee as mouthwash? Did you know that going on a roller coaster can cure kidney stones? 🦎🎢🤯
The book cover of The Big Book of Useless Knowledge. It features colourful and fun fonts, an astronaut with super long and wobbly legs (spaghettification), a dinosaur, a ballerina lifting weights, and a monkey carrying a radio.

📚 My book WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT DEATH is out today! While death & grief is something kids will inevitably experience, as a society we haven’t done a very good job preparing them for it.
The book cover of We Need to Talk About Death. It shows an illustration of a young boy holding a photograph. An adult (in a faded outline) is hugging him. The background of the book cover is white. There is a green border around it.

If you're stuck for gift ideas for the little people in your life, why not treat them to "Tales of World War II"? The book includes incredible, inspiring, strange, and powerful stories from across every theatre of the war.

Do you know the story of the bear who was recruited by the Polish army? How about the jazz singer who worked as a spy for the French Resistance?🐻🇫🇷 In Tales of World War II, kids will discover stories of such incredible bravery and human spirit that they won’t believe are real!

If you need a gift for children who like animals, may I recommend @neonsquidbooks A Day in the Life of series? My kids’ favorites are A Day in the Life of Birds by @TheLabAndField, A Day in the Life of Bugs, and A Day in the Life of Sharks.
