Dave Explores the Outdoors... Minibeasts
***FINANLIST of The Wishing Shelf Book Awards ***
​
Follow Dave as he explores the outdoors - learning about minibeasts as he goes. Did you know that worms have been around for hundreds of years? Just one of the facts you'll discover whilst reading this beautifully illustrated book. According to the Child Mind Institute, spending time outdoors is very valuable for children. It has many benefits, including reducing stress and fatigue, building confidence and promotes imagination. This series will help children grow up with a sense of wonder and respect as they reap all these benefits waiting for them outside their four walls. You and your children will gain the world when you motivate them to be Tots Outdoors.

"Rhyming is spot on and the pictures wonderful. This is a great book to teach children to embrace nature and be fascinated by it rather than scared."

The Power Within
This is something a bit different for Nicky and it's something she can't wait to share with everyone.
It's a beautiful story to help teach our children about inner strength and believing in yourself. It's an important message that will have you looking for your own Power Within too.
