When was the last time you paused to enjoy a moment of beauty in the natural world around you?
In When the Sakura Bloom, @narisa.togo reminds us of the healing cycles of nature and the mindfulness that comes from being present in the world around us.
🌸 “At heart, it is about accepting that while busy lives don’t allow us to be mindful in every moment, nature’s constant and predictable patterns gives us the perfect opportunity to pause, reflect and rejuvenate.”

Wonderful reviews for Night Walk by @alison.binks.art ❤️
“No review can do this book justice. The ethereal beauty of the artwork and the author's poetic language is mesmerising. Every time I turn the page I see something utterly beautiful and winsome which I have missed before. It is a book to cherish.”
- Good Reading Magazine
“Caspar walks alone in bushland, under a star-filled sky, observing many creatures of the night. The illustrations give a sense of spaciousness to this celebration of the natural world, friendship and treading softly. A book to reread and ponder, in the tradition of Owl Moon by Yolen and Schoenherr."
- Dr Robin Morrow AM, Hans Christian Andersen Award juror 2020/21.
“Gentle and ethereal, this is a story of connection; our connection to the landscape and to each other. Binks' words are full of poetry and wonder, and her illustrations exude a warmth and tranquillity that convey a reverence for her subject and draw the reader in to Caspar's world."
- Kids Book Review
“Binks’ artwork has a timeless feel, and as a storyteller, she has a distinctively lyrical voice."
- Books and Publishing
“Night Walk is a poetic meditation on nature, friendship, and the things that connect us."
- Magpies Magazine
"Night Walk is a gorgeous tale of the simple beauty of the Australian bush recommended for ages three and up. It is a story to inspire mindfulness and an appreciation of the beauty of the natural world – regardless of which country we may be in."
- Reading Time CBCA

Wouldn't it be fun to have a friend living right next door to you? Well, as Norton discovers, it can certainly pose some challenges when that friend wants to borrow all your favourite things!
This is a story about setting limits and learning to accept you friends, flaws and all.
