Berbay Publishing

In a sweet story full of visual humor, first-day-of-school worries take on a new weight when Ollie’s best (and furriest) friend must stay at home. Ollie was small — like a pickling jar or a shoe box. Augustus was big — like a fridge or a table. Ollie and his dog, Augustus, do almost everything together: painting, riding bikes, digging (Ollie’s favorite), and collecting sticks (Augustus’s favorite). So as Ollie is getting ready to start school, he’s a little worried. Won’t Augustus be lonely during the day? Ollie has just the idea: a sign that reads Wanted: Friend for Augustus. But good friends, as it turns out, are hard to find. Luckily, Ollie and Augustus aren’t just any kind of friends — they’re best friends, and nothing will ever change that. Endearingly illustrated with scratch-scratchy appeal, this is a tale for animal lovers and new school-goers alike.

A Job for Kingsley (Job for Kingsley, 2)

Shortlisted for the Children's Book of Australia Picture Book of the Year! "The humour will grab children.... This is a simple, meaningful and visually stunning book that reminds us all that what we look like on the outside doesn't matter nearly so much as what we are like on the inside." ReadPlus, highly recommended Is imitation the sincerest form of flattery? Or is it just annoying?&nbsp; This hilarious read-aloud explores every child's least favorite form of admiration: copying.&nbsp;&nbsp;It also helps readers deal with the sensitive topics of conformity, individuality, and belonging in an accessible, kid-friendly way. Ultimately, setting boundaries should be empowering for kids, just like it is for Norton.&nbsp;&nbsp;

A Children's Book Council of Australia Notable Book.&nbsp; "Readers who have been in Norton's or the bear's shoes will emerge enlightened.&nbsp;A sound lesson in making friends--and setting boundaries."&nbsp;Kirkus Reviews Wouldn't it be fun to have a friend living right next door to you? Well, as Norton discovers, it can certainly pose some challenges when that friend wants to borrow all&nbsp;your favorite things, even your special fuzzy slippers. This is a story about setting limits and learning to accept you friends, flaws and all. It introduces readers to the important skill of boundary-setting in a funny, accessible way that will help them share and borrow without regrets. &nbsp;&nbsp;
