The Seal Children
Jackie Morris
Publ: Frances Lincoln Children's Books
When a fisherman called Huw falls in love with a selkie - half-woman, half-seal - she gives him her sealskin as a sign of her love, and bears him two children, Ffion and Morlo, before returning to her own people.
A few years later a stranger comes to the village, telling of a land far away, and Ffion and Morlo remember their mother's stories of the cities of gold and pearls beneath the waves...
This is a beautiful, atmospheric story of love and freedom, and the first picture book written and illustrated by Jackie Morris.
Ronnie's War
Bernard Ashley
Publ: Frances Lincoln Children's Books
With the exception of the dramatic bombing and rescue that open the book, the materials with which Bernard Ashley builds this picture are generally the mundane, the small, the commonplace.
However, it is of such stuff that real lives are made, and through which real emotions and experiences are felt, and this is what makes the book a success: the creation of an emotionally rich journey for Ronnie, and therefore for the reader too.
Written in an easy and simple style, the book makes a perfect introduction for a younger reader looking to understand the "war at home". --Guardian
Ghostscape
Joe Layburn
Publ: Francis Lincoln Children's Books
When Aisha comes across a pale, skinny boy called Richard in the school washrooms, of all places, she is as surprised to meet a 1940s boy as he is to see a black girl wearing a headscarf.
Aisha is transported back sixty years to the time of the Blitz, when her school was a sanctuary for East Enders fleeing the bombing. But Richard becomes more than just a friendly ghost; he helps Aisha confront her difficulties at home with her mother, where she is torn between two cultures...
