The tooth fairy by Jaimie MacGibbon
Peter Rabbit cannot wait to eat breakfast, and takes a big bite of his favourite food, a radish! But when his first bite results in a loose tooth, Mrs. Rabbit tells him the tooth fairy will come visit him. Peter starts to worry why the tooth fairy wants his tooth and whether he'll ever be able to eat all his favourite foods again. And what surprise will the tooth fairy leave under his pillow in the morning? This gentle and reassuring tale mirrors a little one's exciting and worrisome first-experience about losing a tooth, featuring new illustrations of an adorable tooth fairy character.

Talking at night by Claire Daveley
Will and Rosie meet as teenagers. They're opposites in every way, but over secret walks home and late-night phone calls they become closer, destined to be one another's great love story. Until, one day, tragedy strikes and any possibility of them being together shatters. But that tragedy - and their history - is what will connect them forever.
