My Mother’s Invisible Shield
by R. A. Stephens (Author), Jasmine Berry (Illustrator)

My mother has an invisible shield. I’ve tested it. It’s true.

No matter what her mischievous children attempt, mum is always ready and prepared. When they sneak up behind her, she always turns just in time. With ease, she thwarts an attempt to nab an afternoon snack before it's ready. They must try something cleverer. But her shield is still there, and she avoids the attempt yet again. Maybe her shield is like an astronaut suit, or like feathers, or like bubble wrap? But in moments of need, that shield always falls in time for mum to scoop them up into her arms.

Verity Finds Her Voice
Written By Kirsten Kelly Illustrated by Jasmine Berry

Verity is a shy preschooler who always does whatever others tell her. She picks up after her friends, has no say in games, and even plays second fiddle to a drooling baby. But when she is overlooked at her beloved swimming class, Verity realises something needs to change — and discovers the courage to speak up. Verity Finds Her Voice will help children learn that not only is it okay to be assertive, but that being a good friend to yourself is just as important as being a good friend to others
