🎂 It's our birthday and we're turning 12 — and we're celebrating with some of our favourite 12-year-olds! 🎉

From Bela and Simi following their love of music through the Bollywood Academy, to Mwikali, Odwar, Soni and Xirsi facing down everything the Intasimi Warriors world can throw at them — these characters have shown us what it really means to be brave, kind, and unapologetically yourself.

Here's to 12 years of stories that matter. Thank you for being part of our journey. 💚

🌸 Floral Fun Facts from Watch Me Bloom by Krina Patel-Sage! 🌻

Did you know that young sunflowers track the sun throughout the day? Or that lotus seeds can sit at the bottom of a pond for over 1,000 years before sprouting? 🪷

And marigolds — used in Hindu weddings and festivals, and in Day of the Dead celebrations to guide spirits home. The same flower, carrying so many different stories. 🧡

Do you see any of these flowers in your daily life? 👀🌼

Watch Me Bloom is a gorgeous collection of mindful haiku poems celebrating flowers, nature and emotional wellbeing — and it's coming to Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand on 1st September! 🌿🇦🇺🇳🇿

“If I were Prime Minister, I’d leave the Christmas lights up in the trees all year round so it would never be scary walking home from friends’ houses… and squirrels could stay up as late as they liked, scampering through the treetops.” 🌙✨🐿️

We’re obsessed with this illustration by Ella Okstad - the deep midnight blue, the warm glow of the fairy lights, and the little dog climbing the ladder alongside him. Every detail is pure magic. 🎨

Honestly? We’d vote for it. Would you? 💛

🎶 We sat down with Puneet Bhandal, author of Melody Queen, to talk Bollywood, big dreams and what happens when children get their first taste of Bollywood dance.

Spoiler: they don't want to stop.

Melody Queen follows twelve-year-old Simi as she dreams of becoming a Bollywood composer — a story about creativity, ambition and challenging a music industry that wasn't built with her in mind. It's been selected for this year's Summer Reading Challenge: Read to the Beat! 🎵

Swipe to find out what Puneet recommends readers do the moment they finish the book — and to see the proof that she's absolutely right.

Meet Kabir. 👀

In a quiet hill town full of order and expectations, he's too different for school and too misunderstood at home.

And one day... he disappears. 🌫️

Flyaway Boy by Jane De Suza is a joyful, empathetic celebration of imagination and the courage it takes to be yourself — even when the world doesn't understand the story you're trying to tell. 🚀✨

Coming soon from Lantana.
