🍂 Today is the Autumn Equinox - when day and night are almost exactly the same length. For many, this marks the end of summer and the beginning of the colder season.

Helen and her fabled beast friends — a centaur, a fairy and a phoenix — must help Rona the selkie to win the most important contest of the ocean world, and stop the deep sea powers, Merras and Thalas, from going to war.

But who is trying to sabotage the competition and why? Can they find the real villain and prevent the most devastating storm the world has ever seen?

Swipe to find out more about Merras and Thalas, and head to our website to read the first chapter of Storm Singing, part of the series by Lari Don

Abdullah loves his Eid gift — a teddy bear! It used to belong to his abba, who encourages him to guess its name.

Abdullah’s siblings, friends and classmates all have suggestions — Henry, Katie, Olivia, Archibald — but none of them feels right…

Until he hears a family story and has an idea: What if the bear has a name like his own?

Abdullah's Bear Needs a Name by Yasmin Hanif and Sophie Benmouyal is a gentle yet powerful story about the value of cultural heritage, based on the author's real-life experience of children from South Asian backgrounds defaulting to European names for a class teddy bear.
