Shipping

It is important to us to use packaging that does not add to plastic waste issues that we have in the world.  We use cardboard boxes that can be re-used in your garden as a great weed mat or they can be recycled with your paper recycling.  We also use a brown eco tape which can go into your compost as well.

The best graphic novel

After frequently borrowing from the library we knew we had to commit and buy this. Please bring out another with more international folk stories retold. We love it!

Beautiful and engaging

Beautiful illustrations and the stories are engagingly told. My kids have barely put it down since it arrived and have spent hours reading and re-reading their favorites. An excellent purchase!!
