The Children of the Piper
This is a controversial book. It is controversial because it delves into the issue of child abuse. It is done in an age-appropriate way, but nonetheless, some parents might not think that this is an appropriate subject for a child. I disagree. In fact, I believe that because the topic of child abuse is such a taboo subject in most countries around the world, it continues to persist. And I believe that children, more than anyone else, need to be able to feel it is OK to talk about this issue and to understand how best to protect themselves. Yes, these conversations can be uncomfortable, but they don't have to be. And I believe that this book can help to provide opportunities for both parents and children to broach this sensitive subject in a safe and secure space. In this twist on the classic fairy tale, the Pied Piper is transformed into a caring and compassionate hero... On June 26th, 1284, a mysterious man walked into the sleepy village of Hamelin and changed it forever. The townsfolk called him a monster, but they hid a terrible secret they were ashamed to tell. In this retelling of the Pied Piper, the truth is finally revealed as to what actually happened on that fateful day and drove this musical minstrel to do the unthinkable. It wasn't out of vengeance or over a certain sum of gold. It was because of a crucially important promise that the people of this town failed to keep. Scroll down to see sample pages from this exquisitely illustrated 100+ page folktale.
Loki: A Bad God’s Guide to Making Enemies
The fourth doodle-packed diary in the international best-selling series about the Norse god of tricks and mischief sent to Earth to learn how to be good Loki made a fair few enemies during his time in Asgard. Too many to count and certainly too many to remember. When the elf Vinir beams Loki aboard his chariot and challenges him to a magical duel, Loki hasn't got a clue why. Sweet-talking his way out of a fight by pointing out there's little honor in dueling someone who can't remember how they wronged you, and even less in picking on a child, Loki is returned safely to school. That is, until Vinir shows up in child form, as resolute as ever about seeking that duel . . . and vengeance.

Bing's Cherries
A modern American tall tale woven by a girl and her father about Ah Bing, the Chinese immigrant behind the Pacific Northwest's most delicious cherries. You've heard of a Bing cherry, but did you know the story of the Chinese American immigrant for whom the dark, luscious cherry is named? Long ago, Ah Bing was a father who travelled across the sea from China looking for work. It was in Oregon where he met a man who hired him to work in his orchards, where eventually, Bing cultivated the delicious cherries we know of today. But what was it that made this man and the cherries he made so special? a young girl wonders as she sits together with her father, enjoying cherries from their backyard. Weaving together cultural memory, historical fact, and her own imagination, the young girl imagines a narrative of Ah Bing that is as larger than life and as sweet as his namesake. With touching text and lush illustrations, Livia Blackburne and Julia Kuo forge an unforgettable Chinese American folktale that has largely been untold. The backmatter includes a letter from the author and illustrator, as well as a recipe!
