繼得獎作品《Bear》之後，創作者 Natalia Shaloshvili 再次以溫暖筆觸帶來本書。這一次，主角Bear為了一塊餅乾，展開一連串「如果……怎麼辦」的擔憂。原本開心吃著餅乾的Bear，忽然想到：要是這是最後一塊呢？沒想到真的如此。他急著出門買餅乾，卻一路擔心錯過公車、迷路、排不到隊，而這些「最糟情況」竟一一發生。當最後一塊餅乾被Duck買走時，Bear幾乎認定世界就要崩塌。然而，Duck溫柔地分享餅乾，也分享另一種看法：即使擔心成真，也未必是壞結局。本書以幽默鋪陳焦慮心情，在笑聲中安放不安，是談論情緒與友誼的理想讀本。Bear finds that even when his wildest (cookie-related!) worries come true, things will be okay. Bear Worries is a funny and comforting story providing a unique take on the topic of excessive worrying.

In Children of the Throne, three children set out to show the grown-ups that nature isn’t just something to admire – it’s something to protect. With heart, adventure, and a touch of magic, this inspiring story highlights the power of young voices in shaping the future. From Waterstones Children's Laureate 2022–2024, Joseph Coelho, comes this gentle, poetic story about climate change, working together, building communities and living in tune with nature. On the hottest day of the year, three children watch from their tower block windows as golden leaves drift down to the baking pavement. The trees, tricked by the unseasonal heat, think autumn has arrived. While the grown-ups delight in the sunshine, the children worry for the trees – why isn’t anyone else concerned? A wise tree shows them how to conjure rain and care for the forest, but by bravely finding a short-term solution, they inspire something much bigger – a long-term commitment from the adults around them. Together, they redisc
