More about the book…

In this colourful adventure, Erin and Rowan are provided with the wisdom and unconditional love they need to face any of life's challenges.

This inspirational bedtime tale both nurtures and grows the strong bond between parents and children.

With mesmerising pictures and a powerful message, it is sure to become a firm favourite for this and the next generation of your family.

More about the author…

Lynn How loved to write poems from a young age and was encouraged by both her parents and teachers.

After fostering a love of literacy, Lynn became a primary school teacher and stayed in the profession for twenty years. Within this time, she taught across the primary age range and gained her Masters degree, SENCO and headteachers' qualification.

Lynn was compelled to write this book for not only her children, but for all other parents and children who have a shared love of those special bedtime conversations that bring families closer together. It is a time where parents are able to impart wisdom and assist their children with their worries.

This story speaks of support, self-worth and love; it needed to be shared.

When Lynn isn't writing, she loves spending time with her family. They are always seeking out new and exciting outdoor adventures!

Her recent work is in educational consultancy for teacher wellbeing and special needs as well as editing a well-known education blog. She has won awards for her teacher wellbeing work and her blog supporting children with social and emotional issues.

She is about to have a specialist non-fiction book published on the subject of special needs in schools.

My impressions…

What a gorgeous book: it’s small but its message is big and powerful. We love rainbows in my household, and I knew my children would jump at the opportunity to read this book. As suspected, it has become a favourite! First of all, the illustrations are gorgeous. Most importantly, however, it gives us a chance to explore feelings and talk about them in an approachable and appropriate way.

Three words to describe it. Sweet. Cute. Colourful.

Do I like the cover? Yes, it was love at first sight.

Have I read any other books by the same author? It is the first time I am exposed to her work.

Booknet: a new platform for authors and readers

By

‘Ooooh, what is Booknet ?’ I hear you ask… Booknet is a popular literary social media network, self-publishing platform, and Bookscription eBook sales model, all of which is being introduced to the UK following rapid growth in Latin America and Eastern Europe since 2015. How does it work? Booknet is both a successful literary self-publishing platform and a social network, founded by Ukrainian entrepreneurs in 2015. Booknet has gained significant traction in countries such as Ukraine, Russia (the Russian division was sold in the spring of 2022 because of the war between Ukraine and Russia), as well as Latin America. The company is now actively investing resources into the development of its English-language version. Authors can either publish their books with free access by readers, or sell them after obtaining commercial status through the platform. Booknet provides free advertising for eBooks sold by their authors on the platform. Booknet’s distinctive features (apart from being a pop...

Book review: She’s Never Coming Back

By

By Hans Koppel Translated by Kari Dickson Published by Sphere It is safe to say that my choice of reading material is not usually truculent. That’s why I surprised myself when I decided to read a novel whose front cover prominently displays a quote describing it as a ‘terrifying crime novel’. I started to read expecting the worse and - it being impossible to put the book down - a few hours later I was trying to understand what had hit me. Let’s be clear: I loved this book and I’m grateful to Sphere for publishing this Swedish novel by author Karl Petter Lidbeck who, being a children’s literature author, decided to have it published under the pen name of Hans Koppel. I can see why he doesn’t want to have the two genres mixing on the bookshelves! The plot is simple enough: one day after work, Ylva does not return home. When she hasn’t returned 24 hours later, her husband Mike starts to worry and calls the police. Ylva seems to have disappeared without a trace and, month after month, Mike...

“Italy in books” - reading challenge 2011

Why this challenge? This year I’ve decided to host a reading challenge because I think that they are a brilliant idea. They help to make reading a more collective experience and are a great way to find out more about any particular author / genre / topic and get to know about books you might never have come across. I chose this topic because - as an Italian who has been living abroad for many years now - I feel the need to learn more about my home country and I’m curious to see the difference between the way it is portrayed by native Italians and others. The details of the challenge The challenge will run from January, 1st 2011 to December, 31st 2011 . The aim of the challenge is to read at least 12 books that are set in Italy. Whether written by Italian authors or not, it doesn’t matter. They don’t have to be set exclusively in Italy but this country needs to play a significant role in the book. The challenge can include non-fiction books about Italy. You can also review Italian lea...
