SIGNED EDITION The Girl who Speaks Bear

Sophie Anderson
�7.99

Winner of Indie Bookshop Week 2020 Best Children's Fiction, congratulations to Cumbrian author Sophie Anderson, for The Girl Who Speaks Bear!

This edition comes complete with a beautiful signed bookplate.

They call me Yanka the Bear. Not because of where I was found - only a few people know about that. They call me Yanka the Bear because I am so big and strong.

Found abandoned in a bear cave as a baby, Yanka has always wondered about where she is from. She tries to ignore the strange whispers and looks from the villagers, wishing she was as strong on the inside as she is on the outside. But, when she has to flee her house, looking for answers about who she really is, a journey far beyond one that she ever imagined begins: from icy rivers to smouldering mountains meeting an ever-growing herd of extraordinary friends along the way.

Welcome to Our World

Moira Butterfield
�8.99

Children all over the world are very different, but they also have much in common.

In this beautifully illustrated book, young children can learn all about what people in other countries eat, wear and play, and how they speak and celebrate. From breakfasts to birthdays, cakes to clothes, and hiccups to hellos, there are so many ways to say and do things - but everyone shares a love of family, friends, food and fun.

This delightful book teaches us that despite different languages, customs and traditions, it really is a small world, after all. A unique, warm-hearted book to help teach children understanding, harmony and respect.
