Lights on Cotton Rock
>From the best-selling author illustrator of the Bear and the Piano comes this out-of-this world picture book. Magical, heartwarming and imaginative, this stunningly illustrated tale is a work of art with a powerful message.
Heather is a little girl who wants to go to Outer Space, where the stars sparkle with magic and wonder. Then a spaceship lands at
Cotton Rockà
But soon her new alien friend has to leave. Will the spaceship ever come back? And if it does, is Heather ready to leave everything on Earth behind?
This delightful book includes marvellous moments of interactive storytelling, including comic book style pages of illustrations for children to interpret and discuss. After a collaborative story time we will provide the materials for children to create their very own comic book strip about a time they met an alien!

All You Need is Love
Join Becca for a reading of this wonderful book in a friendly, relaxed environment, upstairs at Booka.
Plum loves everyone. She loves her mummy and daddy and she especially loves her best friends, Rocket, Esther, Bean and Jakey. Her favourite part of the day is when she chases her best friends around the park.
But when new dogs try to join in, Plum isn't so sure. Do they really need new friends? Especially ones as big as Otto, as old as Bounder, or as tiny as Milly? In this heartwarming tale, Plum learns what it really means to be a friend and how much fun new ones can be - especially when you give them a chance.
It's free, and there's no need to book - we'd love to see you there! | | | | Wednesday 19th February
