Sometimes it's okay to need a night light!It's fun for Daniel to build and decorate a sukkah with his family, and to eat dinner with friends and neighbors, but he's a little nervous about sleeping in the little hut without a real roof. It's harder this year, because Grandpa has a cold and won't be with Daniel. His older sister, Naomi, seems so brave and keeps teasing him about being scared of the dark, but when night falls and the wind howls, even Naomi is a little afraid. Maybe they both need a night light. Luckily, they can see through the holes in the roof to the magnificent night sky....Realistic sibling relationships and the inspiration provided by the bravery of long-ago ancestors combine in this much-loved story about Sukkot, a weeklong holiday commemorating the forty years Israelites wandered in the desert. New illustrations lend contemporary appeal and a kid-friendly afterword explains more about the holiday and how it applies to peoples' search for shelter today.

Join The Whale Watchers on an unforgettable summer holiday adventure that raises awareness of the key role that whales play in climate change and explains how readers can help protect whales and their environment by reducing single use plastics and embracing a more sustainable reuse culture. It's the first day of summer holidays and Finn can't believe his marine biologist mum is dragging him and his little brother Jesse off to miserable, rainy Scotland to study the whales that live there. Finn longs to be somewhere hot, lying by a hotel pool with his headphones on. He's sick of his mum's work, and of the knot in his stomach that tightens whenever he thinks about her hopeless cause - beautiful sea creatures endangered by a plastic-polluted ocean. But when a girl with binoculars round her neck and a dog at her heels takes Finn and Jesse to her secret lookout point, Finn soon finds himself swept up in an unforgettable adventure. But can he find hope too?
