Description

Being brave when you feel afraid is the very bravest brave of all . . .

It’s time for Arlo’s family to leave their winter den and journey to Spring Valley, but he isn’t so sure about all this change. Arlo likes their home just as it is; and after all, his sister, Eva, is the brave one. But when a snowstorm separates them as they travel through the Great Wood, Arlo finds that when it’s his turn to be brave, being afraid won’t stop him from saving the day.

With heartwarming illustrations, this tender story by internationally acclaimed picture book creator Steve Small is perfect for anyone who has ever been afraid of change.

Another islander has left the villa... Ethan is moving on to greener pastures as he has just graduated from Uni! This tremendous accomplishment sadly means that he is breaking up with the north for London. He has been a massive support to the team over the last 8 months, constantly giving 110% to customers and staff! We will miss him so much! In honour of his leaving, swipe to see some of his favorite reads from his time spent as a bookseller at House of Books and Friends 💜

Championing Manchester fiction, and this one's mint! 🐝

Set in the vibrant, chaotic energy of Manchester's Curry Mile, this is an incredible story about friendship, family, masculinity, vulnerability, and so much more.

With all the camaraderie and real-life complexity of Irvine Welsh's Trainspotting, but with a cultural anchor all its own, you're guaranteed to laugh out loud and ugly cry... Salam absolutely ATE with this one 🔥
