Igor and the Mending Mice is a funny and heartwarming picture book that celebrates creativity and shows children the joy of repairing and recycling, as a family of clever mice take on fast fashion and outsmart a bullying factory boss. In a town where fashion is everything and people only wear brand-new clothes, a family of industrious mice discover a different way forward. With nimble paws and clever ideas, they begin mending old and damaged clothes, stitching new life into once-forgotten favourites. Soon, their human neighbours are delighted to have wardrobes that are both beautiful and long-lasting. But not everyone is happy. Igor, the mean and miserly owner of the town’s fast-fashion factory, is furious as his business begins to lose money. Determined to put a stop to the meddling mice, he tries to outwit them. Can Igor squash their creativity, or will the mice’s resourceful nature inspire a change of heart (and business)? Through humour and heart, this story shows that small acts of creativity can make a big difference, while gently encouraging children to think about waste and sustainability. Igor and the Mending Mice is a joyful book that introduces children to the idea of 're-loving' their old clothes and inspires them to see the value in what they already have. Printed locally on recycled paper, it will delight young readers and reassure adults they are making a positive choice for the planet.

In the 1970s, an all-male ballet company called Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo was formed in New York City—but the dancers did not play only traditional male roles on stage. Instead, “The Trocks” dressed in tutus and wigs. They danced in both male and female roles. Their practices and performances were precise and serious, but the dancers brought joy, comedy, and whimsy to the stage! With determination, hard work, and a desire to create an all-inclusive and empowering LGBTQ community, Les Ballets Trockadero is a global sensation today, and its international cast of dancers perform sold-out shows worldwide. They celebrated their fiftieth aniversary in 2024.Brave New Ballet educates young readers about the true story of dancers who dreamed of performing as their truest selves. With delightful illustrations by Alexander Mostov, this nonfiction story leaps, jetés, and pirouettes across the pages with a dedication to an inclusive vision.
