Publisher’s Spotlight:

Title: Forwards Always

Author: Matthew Hodson

Publisher: Cicada Books

Release Date: September 12, 2023

Forwards Always is a collection of poems to be read aloud with friends and loved ones.

You may need to practice certain poems more than once before you get the hang of them, as you would dancing the rumba or making pancakes. Play with the book, it is a toy. Rotate it, squeeze it and wave it about. Hold it with someone else, wear it as a hat or try reading it upside down. Some poems may be improved by two readers taking turns or even reading aloud at the same time. You will figure it out. Please be aware that the book is neither waterproof or fire resistant. Dogs and goats will eat it, if given the opportunity. It tastes of paper.

“Incisive, clever and thought-provoking… ideal to spark questions and discussions.” – The School Reading List, UK

Title: When Dad’s Hair Took Off

AuthorJörg Mϋhle

Publisher: Gecko

Release Date: September 5, 2023

One day, Dad’s hair decided it was tired of being brushed and combed. It wanted a life of its own, to see the world. It took off.

Out of the bathroom, into the kitchen, and before you could say, “Hairsta la vista, baby!” it was gone.

Dad gives chase around the town. He spots his hair hiding in the lawn, on the road, at the zoo–it’s amazing how many things look like hair. He gives up and tries to accept life without hair. Then the postcards arrive. The hair is on a round-the-world trip, and Dad is still bald. Until one day the unbelievable happens and the hair comes back.

A fast-paced, wonderfully absurd story packed with wordplay and hilarious illustrations.

When Dad’s Hair Took Off is a comical chapter book for early readers or for any child to enjoy reading aloud with a grownup who relates! A fun book to celebrate and share with Dad on Father’s Day or any day.

Translated from the German edition by Melody Shaw, which was shortlisted for multiple awards.
