Congratulations to Deborah Kelly and Nicky Johnston on the launch of *The Mosaic* this past weekend.

This gorgeous new picture book has a hopeful message for children struggling to put their lives back together after a family breakdown. It helps them understand that even if things won't look the same going forward, it is possible to make something new and still very beautiful from all the various pieces.

Thanks to MacLean's Booksellers for their tireless support of EK Books and our clever creators.

Books with Heart on Issues that Matter

Welcome – to great books with glorious illustrations and great characters.

At EK Books we believe in the healing power of story. We also think it is important for every child to recognise themselves in the characters in books. That is why our picture books cover a wide range of human experience. Yes, within them you will find ponies, fairies and ballerinas, but you will also find those moments of light and shade that make life full and rich. A grandparent struggling with dementia, a child whose life with autism is brightened by a loving and empathetic sibling, messages for children filled with anxiety, and solace in the form of beautiful pictures and lyrical text in stories that deal with grief, with change, and even with domestic violence.

We welcome you to our online community and hope that here you will find messages that matter and stories that make your heart sing.
