May 2011 publicity highlights from Walker Books

6 Apr 2011

Walker Books have sent through their exciting new books for May 2011... and a sneak peek of what they have on offer for June too.

Waiting for Later by Tina Matthews
Using the same beautifully handcrafted Japanese woodcut and stencil technique from last year’s Out of the Egg, Tina Matthews’s new picture book, Waiting for Later, is a poignant story of a child’s search for independence in a world full of busy people. With a nod to the Free-Range Kids movement, this book is sure to warm the hearts and minds of children and parents alike.  

Maisy Goes to the City by Lucy Cousins
An absolute treat for both Maisy fans and those new to Maisy. Busy, bold, bright, full of life and colours –  just like the city!

Samurai Kids, Book 6: Golden Bat by Sandy Fussell, illustrated by Rhian Nest James
The sixth instalment in a unique series about a special group of kids training in the ways of the Samurai. Great for boy and girl readers.

Where’s Wally? The Totally Essential Travel Collection by Martin Hanford
Who can resist a Where’s Wally book? The Totally Essential Travel Collection is a must-have for fans, and a go-to selection for those who are new to the series, with all seven sensational classics packed in to one nifty travel-sized edition. A great gift idea, or to fill in those long winter days!

Little Sister by Aimee Said
Aimee Said, the Melbourne-based author of Finding Freia Lockhart (2010) releases this sharply observed YA novel about a young girl’s journey through high school, in particular being the younger sister of her over-achieving sister, Larrie. Dealing with themes of homophobia, bullying and acceptance Little Sister is a fresh, modern tale about standing up for what’s right.

And a sneak peek of June's books...
A beautifully illustrated and hilarious take on the traditional fairytales, No Bears is a brand-new picture book by Meg McKinlay and Leila Rudge.

David Cox’s brand-new picture book, Ayu and the Perfect Moon.

Fun and fresh junior fiction title, The Truth about Verity Sparks by Susan Green.
