      Výpravná kniha plná překrásných celostránkových ilustrací a básní o zvířatech a oslavující naši planetu z dílny mezinárodně uznávaného tvůrčího dua Petra Horáčka a Nicoly Davies. Nicola Davies, úspěšná britská autorka řady dětských knih (přezdívaná David Attenborough pro děti) tentokrát napsala 40 fantastických básní, vekterých malí čtenáři objeví luskouny, zpívající velryby, pětinohého psa, třínohou kočku, dozvědí se jaké to bylo za lockdownu (skoro jako žít uvnitř vlka a ani jste nemuseli být Karkulkou!), po čem touží podmořská kněžna, co se hodí, vezme-li s sebou na procházku hrocha nebo jak je báječné mít babičku, která nosí na rameni kosa. Veselé i vážné, rozpustilé i dojemné básně do češtiny převedl s důvtipem a humorem sobě vlastním vyhledávaný básník a textař Robin Král, který za svoji práci získal už řadu ocenění včetně Magnesie Litery. Titul je díky své kombinaci hravé poezie a nádherných ilustrací oblíbeného výtvarníka Petra Horáčka úžasným čtenářským zážitkem jak pro děti, tak i pro rodiče a prarodiče, kteří tráví čas společným čtením.

    • Nominated for the 2022 CILIP Carnegie and Kate Greenaway Medals. A rhinoceros remembers his life before grey captivity, one full of colour, with familiar smells and sights. He thinks of his mother being slain by poachers. He has searched the zoo but cannot find another like him. He fears he is the last. He describes a joyless life for all the animals with him, before being rescued and brought back home. The colour is brought back into his life when he realis-es he is not the last. Last evokes a longing for home from the reader and a sense of hope for the future upon its ending. In her debut as an illustrator, Nicole Davies effectively and beautifully portrays the differences in mood and surroundings between the rhinoceros' life before and during captivity through her effective use of colour.

Imagine it turned your town to rubble. Imagine going on a long and difficult journey - all alone. Imagine finding no welcome at the end of it. Then imagine a child who gives you something small but very, very precious... When the government refused to allow 3000 child refugees to enter this country in 2016, Nicola Davies was so angry she wrote a poem. It started a campaign for which artists contributed drawings of chairs, symbolising a seat in a classroom, education, kindness, the hope of a future. The poem has become this book, movingly illustrated by Rebecca Cobb, which should prove a powerful aid for explaining the ongoing refugee crisis to younger readers.

Although they are invisible, they are everywhere and they multiply very quickly. They are vital for life on earth, and do all sorts of things - from giving us a cold and making yoghurt to wearing down mountains and helping to make the air we breathe. With charming illustrations by Emily Sutton, this friendly, clever book succeeds in conveying the complex science of micro-organisms simply and clearly, and opens up an exciting new avenue for young non-fiction.
