Mirror
This innovative picture book comprises two stories designed to be read simultaneously - one from the left, the other from the right. Page by page, we experience the lives of two little boys - one from an urban family in Sydney, Australia, the other from Morocco. From busy motorways to desert landscapes, these worlds couldn't be further apart. Yet with the journey of a homemade Moroccan carpet into the Australian boy's home, we can see how these separate lives become intertwined. At the book's conclusion, the family in Sydney can be seen enjoying their new purchase together while the Moroccan family are surfing the internet.
A powerful book, Mirror illustrates how our lives reflect each other and that we are all, even in some small way, connected.

This is a great book for tackling the thorny issue of inclusion and making friends, and Ed's characteristic colourful illustrations make it a joy to read, too.

Tanka Tanka Skunk
Meet Tanka the elephant and his friend, Skunka (a skunk, unsurprisingly...). If you say their names together, they sound like drums! And so begins a riotous medley of sights and sounds as the percussive pals join forces with llamas, zebras, gorillas and more, each one adding their sounds to the Tanka Skunka beat!

Vegetable Glue
Thanks to her diet of too much cake and no greens, bits start falling off the little girl in this story. First her arm, then her head and finally, most alarmingly of all, her bottom! Only one thing can reunite her with her wayward body parts - vegetable glue.
This is a real Seven Stories favourite! Although it's almost impossible to describe it without it sounding bizarre and unnerving, Vegetable Glue is a fantastic picture book. Children love the simple, funny, easy-to-read rhymes and quirky illustrations, whilst grown-ups love having another weapon in their battle to get their little ones to eat their veg.
