Find out about the latest book in the 'Girl, Missing' series, Secret Sister, in this short video by author Sophie McKenzie. Author Guy Bass introduces SCRAP, about one robot who tried to protect the humans on his planet against an army of robots.

The delicate and quixotic illustrations add to its charm and, even for the most reluctant readers, this is a real page turner. The message is artfully subtle, never clunky or heavy-handed, and the takeaway for kids may be unconscious, calming any anxieties about following their deepest desires and dreams, and reassuring them that they'll be loved and supported even as they go forth.Litchfield's distinctive style and rich illustrations provide the perfect accompaniment to this tale of tenacity, exploration and belonging.

Make a list of arguments ‘for’ and ‘against’ the bear leaving the forest and going to the city (or when he is in the city thinking about going home again).

If your child enjoys the story, there are two more wonderful books in the series The Bear the Piano, the Dog and the Fiddle and The Bear the Piano and Little Bear’s Concert to enjoy. The story is pretty good, a bear that can play the piano and he becomes famous and is soon selling out theatres.

The entire book has a tugging nature to it, a bear caught between two worlds and the desire for exploration and the continued tie to home. These branches are designed to support home learners to access literature-based learning using a selection of books we love from Writing Roots. Although his skill wins him the admiration of his woodland kin, the bear is eventually drawn away from the wild, led by a young girl and her father to journey to the city, there to discover more music than he ever dreamed possible, and to pursue his great passion.Perhaps it would be interesting to discuss the concept of the outdoors being a 'room' with children, and find out about their own ambitions beyond their 'room'.
