New children's book: A Very Happy Easter by Tim Thornborough

A Very Happy Easter by Tim Thornborough - Fresh retelling of the Easter story for young children, with opportunities to join in with facial expressions!

This book is a bit different from others.

In most books there is work for your eyes and ears. You look at the pictures, and listen to the words.

But in this book, there is work for your face too!

This fresh retelling of the Easter story focuses on the emotions of Jesus’ friends and invites children to copy the expressions they are making.

As they learn about how Jesus died and rose again, they will see that Jesus’ friends felt fear, sadness, surprise and joy, and they will have the opportunity to think about how they would have felt.

This book is a great way to make story time interactive and explain Easter to young children in a way that connects emotionally and builds empathy.

New children's book: A Very Noisy Christmas by Tim Thornborough

A Very Noisy Christmas by Tim Thornborough - Some think that Christmas was a ""Silent Night"". Far from it. It was filled with shouting, singing and screaming! It was as noisy as any of our Christmas celebrations.

This fun and fresh retelling of the Christmas story comes with sound effects so that children can join in as parents read to them. But it also shows children that at the heart of the Christmas story is something we should all be quiet and see: God's son Jesus was born, so that we can be friends with God forever. Now that's something worth shouting about!
