Newborn Christmas Gifts

It's a new day in Australia. Let's follow the sun! Wake up with kookaburras on Arakwal Country (Byron Bay), bask with wombats on ??wulinantikala (Cradle Mountain), ?watch black and red cockatoos flying over A??nangu Country, scratch the Daintree Rainforest floor with cassowaries on Kuku Yalanji Country, and go to sleep as quokkas wake up on Whadjuk Noongar Country (Rottnest Island).

Welcome to Australia as you've never seen it before: a dreamy pastel-popping ode to the significant places and animals on the land we all call home, from emerging artist Brentos.

I love your quiet stories, songs sung loud in the rain. No one can hug like you, Mum or makes me feel the same. Brave mums, playful mums, cuddly mums, quiet mums - every mum is special in her own way. Charming, heartfelt and delightful, There's Only One Mum Like You is a tribute to the unique magic of mums.

Don't feel like hugging today? No worries! We can say hello with a smile, a wave or even a high five! Celebrate all the ways to say hello with this fun and inclusive board book from the beloved creator of Love Makes a Family and Kindness Makes Us Strong.

Saying hello can be tricky for some kids, but Sophie Beer's feel-good introduction to greetings is the perfect story to help! How to Say Hello explores consent with a light touch, taking big concepts and nestling them in clear yet playful read-aloud text. Inclusive, vibrant and uplifting, this beautiful board book will help support children in establishing boundaries as they navigate relationships.

Featuring an inclusive range of families, parents and cultures, readers young and old will love seeing themselves and their communities gathered together. With rounded edges and sturdy pages, this high-quality board book will be plenty of fun for little hands!

The perfect board book for:

• Babies and toddlers aged 0–3 years
