By the celebrated author of So Much “Master storyteller Trish Cooke is in top form with this vibrant story of community, magic, love and family that’s bursting with life and colour.” Dapo Adeola Long ago and far away, a magic callaloo plant grew in a village square. Whoever ate one of its leaves was granted a wish. But a greedy selfish man wanted all the wishes for himself so he stole the callaloo. With only one leaf left, Mister and Missus, desperate for a child, pluck it to make their dream come true. But the greedy man wants everything and he kidnaps their beloved daughter, who will ultimately make the most remarkable escape. Trish Cooke says, “The Magic Callaloo pays homage to my ancestors and the roads they walked to freedom.” • Reading age 3-7 years old. • #themagiccallaloo #trishacooke #walkerbooks #bookrelease #farytale #kidlit #sophiebass #booklover #blackchildrensbooks #blackownedbusiness #blackownedbookstores #picturebook #picturebookdesign #melaninchildstories #booksweread #diversechildrensbooks #multiculturalkidsbooks #weneeddiversebooks #booksforkids

BIG NEW 🚨🚨🚨 OUT TODAY • Discover the incredible life of Sir Lenny Henry, the multi-talented comedian, actor, writer and activist. Ever since he was small, Lenny Henry wanted to be a comedian. At home in Dudley, England, he would pretend to be the characters he watched on TV, copying scenes from his favourite shows to entertain his six brothers and sisters. But life wasn’t always easy, and at school Lenny found himself the subject of racist bullying—until he figured out a way to beat the bullies using humour. This was when he realised he had a gift: he could make people laugh. He shot to fame aged 16 and the following decades were full of great successes, such as his hugely popular TV programme The Lenny Henry Show. Lenny co-founded the charity Comic Relief in response to a terrible famine in East Africa. Over 25 years later, Lenny and the charity remain committed to creating a just world, free from poverty, and have raised millions of pounds. An actor, a comedian, an author and a champion of inclusivity, Lenny is a much-loved figure whose story encourages us to keep smiling. • #sirlennyhenry #littlepeoplebigdreams #comicrelief #lennyhenry #bookstagrammer #kidsbooks #kidsbookstagram #kidslit #childrensbook #kidsbooks #raisingreaders #picturebook #nonfictionbooks #kidsnonfiction #childrennonfictionbook #rednoseday #kidsbiographies #biographyseries #biographybook #melaninchildstories #teachersfollowingteachers #childrenbookreview #outnow #newbook #february #newbookrelease #ordernow #worldreadaloudday @quartokids 📝 @mariaisabelsanchezvegara 🎨 @creativedewen @flcbooks

In the world of the Vanquishers, vampires were history ... until now. Malika "Boog" Wilson and her best friends have grown up idolising the Vanquishers, a group of heroic vampire hunters who wiped out the last horde of the undead decades ago. Nowadays, most people don't take even the most basic vampire precautions - the days of garlic wreaths and early curfews are long gone - but Boog's parents still follow the old rules, much to her embarrassment. • Reading age 9 - 12 years old. • #thevanquishers #book #middlegradebooks #vampirebooks #vampire #childrenbook #childrenbooks #childrenbookofthemonth #kalynnbayron #melaninchildstories

Leo Messi (Little People, BIG DREAMS) - 🔔🔔🔔Out Tomorrow ⚽️⚽️⚽️ • @mariaisabelsanchezvegara In this book from the highly acclaimed Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the incredible life of Leo Messi, one of the world’s most skilled and celebrated footballers. As a child, Leo developed his passion for football playing games with his brothers and cousins in the streets of Rosario, Argentina. He later honed his skills on the pitch as part of the local youth team, Newell’s Old Boys – who famously won every tournament whilst Leo was with them. But life wasn’t without its challenges. Aged 9, he was diagnosed with Growth Hormone Deficiency, which meant he had to inject himself with hormones from the doctor every day to help him grow. But nothing was going to stop Leo from following his dreams. He debuted with FC Barcelona in 2004 and across the next 17 years scored 672 goals for the club and helped them to win 35 trophies. Leo has also received seven Golden Ball awards, more than any other football player in history, and won 4 trophies with Argentina’s national football team, including the 2022 World Cup, where he captained the team to victory. Messi’s next chapter will be spent training under the Florida sunshine, having joined the US team Inter Miami CF. • #littlepeoplebigdreams #littlepeoplebigdreamsleomessi #leomessi #leomessibook #leomessifans #newbook #newbooks #newbookrelease #newbookreleases #newbookreview #footballer #melaninchildstories #picturebook #picturebookbiographies #littlepeoplebigdreamsseries #booksforchildren #booksforkids #letsread #picturebooksofinstagram #reader #kidslit #librariesofinstagram #bookishlove

Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute 🥰 • From the New York Times bestselling author of the Brown Sisters trilogy, comes a laugh-out-loud story about a quirky content creator and a clean-cut athlete testing their abilities to survive the great outdoors--and each other. Bradley Graeme is pretty much perfect. He's a star football player, manages his OCD well (enough), and comes out on top in all his classes . . . except the ones he shares with his ex-best friend, Celine. Celine Bangura is conspiracy-theory-obsessed. Social media followers eat up her takes on everything from UFOs to holiday overconsumption--yet, she's still not cool enough for the popular kids' table. Which is why Brad abandoned her for the in-crowd years ago. (At least, that's how Celine sees it.) These days, there's nothing between them other than petty insults and academic rivalry. So when Celine signs up for a survival course in the woods, she's surprised to find Brad right beside her. Forced to work as a team for the chance to win a grand prize, these two teens must trudge through not just mud and dirt but their messy past. And as this adventure brings them closer together, they begin to remember the good bits of their history. But has too much time passed . . . or just enough to spark a whole new kind of relationship? • Reading age 12 - 17 years old. • #highlysuspiciousandunfairlycute #taliahibbert #bookstagrammer #booktok #bookishlove #bookish #contemporary #yabooks #igreads #enemiestolovers #enemiestoloversbooks #youngadult #youngadultbooks #fivestarsread #melaninchildstories @taliahibbert

Cleopatra Tells All! @chrisnaunton • Cleopatra tells her version of events as the ruler of the last ancient Egyptian dynasty. In this hilarious and revealing tell-all, the politically savvy, multilingual, cosmopolitan ruler of Alexandria, Cleopatra, reveals herself to be the world’s first influencer. Finally able to tell her own version of events, she will have readers reeling at the remarkable skill with which she raised an army of mercenaries to counter her bullying brother and secure the support of two of the world’s most powerful men – Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. Chris Naunton’s expert text is accompanied by Guilherme Karsten’s illustrations, which give the ancient Egyptian queen a relatable, modern make-over. Witty, contemporary and full of sass, this is Cleopatra. • Reading age: 7 - 9 years old #cleopatratellsall #cleopatra #alexandria #egypt #egyptology #archaeology #ancientegypt #pharaoh #visitegypt #juliuscaesar #antigoegito #egipto #bookshelves #bookshelf #referencebook #nonfictionbooks #picturebook #boardbook #boardbooks #mustreads #mustreadbooks #melaninchildstories
