Wild crossings
All over the world, animals are constantly on the move, travelling to find mates, forage for food and seek safety and shelter. But what happens when man-made barriers get in the way? From motorways and railways to housing developments and gas pipelines, humans have made it harder for animals to get to where they need to go. But now humans are reconnecting wild spaces and helping animals of all shapes and sizes find safe passage. They're using overpasses, underpasses, rope bridges and ingenious engineering to move between fragmented forests and habitats. From tiny toadlets to the world's largest mammals, animals cross over and under, up above and down below. With 18 true stories of animal crossings written by Rachel Ip and brought to life by Katie Hickey's artwork, 'Wild Crossings' is the perfect blend of engineering and nature stories for children.

Friends in nature
All living things in the natural world - from the trees and the bees to the dogs and the frogs - depend on one another. There wouldn't be a coral reef without the help of all the fish that have made it their home. Rainforests are only filled with lush and colourful plants because of the birds and mammals who eat and scatter their seeds. Acacia trees have a whole army of ants to protect them, while elephants rely on egrets to keep them parasite-free. And it's because of bees, wasps and butterflies that we have tasty fruit and vegetables to eat. Created by writer and artist Marina Ruiz, beautifully illustrated scenes reveal the wonderful connections and cooperation in nature. Narrative storytelling links every spread to the next, exploring how even the tiniest relationship has a big impact in keeping our planet's huge and complex web balanced.
