Mix it Up!

Written and illustrated by Herve Tullet

Award-winning Mix it Up takes colour learning to a new and exciting level by showing toddlers what happens when primary colours meet and mingle...and create beautiful new colours! This interactive story lets toddlers 'mix,' say, yellow and blue with their fingers, then reveals the surprising outcome on the next page—green! And...no mess!

Black Bird Yellow Sun

Written and illustrated by Steve Light

A lone black bird and its little worm pal soar their way through a day that is just bursting with vibrant colours. Bold green grass, cool gray rocks, bright orange leaves, luminous pink flowers, and so much more. Gorgeous and simple, children will adore the collage-style illustrations and parents will love helping their toddler learn shapes, sizes, textures, and, of course, colours!
