For fans of Oliver Jeffers, this stunningly illustrated, whimsical picture book is about finding your own voice and learning how to connect with others through storytelling. A quiet child in a boisterous family, Emma Wen dreams of a world that is peaceful and silent. When she reads about the blue whale - with a heart so big her father could stand in it - she has an idea. She fashions a boat out of household objects and sails from her bedroom into the mouth of a whale, where she settles in happily. Emma has finally found her peace and quiet. That is until another child, Owen Tang, arrives inside the whale and is loud, noisy and "everything she is running away from". Emma and Owen's unlikely friendship blossoms inside the microcosm of the whale in a beautifully told story of friendship and finding your own voice in a world that is "filled with too much of everything, everywhere." With lush, irresistible illustrations and its balance of sensitivity and adventure, Xin Li's author/illustrat

My Mum Called Alzheimer’s is a heartfelt memoir chronicling the author’s journey through her mother’s battle with dementia in the final 4 years of her life. In a diary of intimate dialogues between mother and daughter, we glimpse into the challenges of caring for someone you love, coming to terms with losing them, and finding strength in cherishing the moments that remain. The touching account of the interaction between the author and her mother sends a strong message about keeping a balance, maintaining dignity whilst coping with the effects of the symptoms of dementia and the need to make the best of what we still have. It is a story of love, resilience, perseverance, and hope.

Time is our biggest worry: there is too little of it. The acclaimed Guardian writer Oliver Burkeman offers a lively, entertaining philosophical guide to time and time management, setting aside superficial efficiency solutions in favor of reckoning with and finding joy in the finitude of human lifeThe average human lifespan is absurdly, insultingly brief. Assuming you live to be eighty, you have just over four thousand weeks.Nobody needs telling there isn’t enough time. We’re obsessed with our lengthening to-do lists, our overfilled inboxes, work-life balance, and the ceaseless struggle against distraction; and we’re deluged with advice on becoming more productive and efficient, and “life hacks” to optimize our days. But such techniques often end up making things worse. The sense of anxious hurry grows more intense, and still the most meaningful parts of life seem to lie just beyond the horizon. Still, we rarely make the connection between our daily struggles with time and the ultimate
