The Words You Need

Real-life scripts to speak up, set boundaries and handle pressure.

What can she say when a friend keeps pushing after she has already said no? When someone posts her photo without permission? When a message gets too personal? This illustrated guide turns awkward, pressuring moments into manageable steps: recognize what is happening, choose a direct response, say it clearly and decide what to do next. Fifty scripts, no long lectures, just useful words she can practice before she needs them.

The Big Book of Whys for Kids

1,000 questions. Real answers. One explorer to lead the way.

Why is the sky blue? How do birds fly? What were dinosaurs really like? I collect questions the way some people collect shells, and this book answers a thousand of them in clear, friendly language. Ten chapters from Space and the Sky to Dinosaurs, Big Whys with hand-drawn diagrams, Quick Whys for one more question before bed, and TRY IT! experiments to do at home.

The Big Book of Street Smart Whys for Kids

What would you do?

Lost at a busy fair. A stranger asking for help. A game chat that suddenly feels weird. Kids meet real situations every day, and the best protection is knowing what to do before it happens. Join me and the Explorers - Leo, Maya, Noah and Zoe - on eight real-life adventures. Every page asks a big WHY, and every answer builds a skill your child can use for life. Calm, friendly and never scary.

Murder mystery puzzle book

It Wasn't Yamara

A man was shot in my doorway. The whole hill says it was me.

So I opened the case file. Thirty-five neighbours, twenty-nine pieces of evidence - ciphers, ledgers, photographs and one witness who lies. Cross them off one by one until only one name is left. It wasn't me. Prove it.

Novel

Life of Yamara

From Kingston to Miami with dreams bigger than borders.

My story told as a novel - part manifesto of a girl born from imagination. About roots, reinvention and refusing to stay inside anyone's frame.
