Arnaldo Ageno — Tue, 27 May 2025 11:15:56 +0000

WINNER OF THE BOLOGNA RAGAZZI FOR NON-FICTION, THE PREMIO ANDERSEN AND THE CENTO PRIZE.
A witty, magnificently produced exploration of the idea of “sorting” and categories, from the bestselling illustrator of The Silk Roads and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The animal kingdom, modes of transport, musical instruments, art and architectural movements, cloud classification … anything and everything can be sorted into groups! Framed by a charming narrative about a father and son, this is a book about categories; on a journey into town, a boy called Arvo explores the many ways in which we classify the world around us, to charming – and often amusing – effect.

One of a Kind marks Neil Packer’s debut as an author-illustrator, following his extraordinary artwork for The Silk Roads and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, together with Jim Kay. With a charming text and breath-taking artwork, this is a book which deserves its title: a true original by a huge talent.

Arnaldo Ageno — Mon, 06 Jan 2025 18:18:27 +0000

Eugène Handschuh was a Jewish member of the Resistance in occupied Paris. After he was captured by the Nazis, he was placed on a convoy to Auschwitz. Against all the odds, with the help of strangers and fellow members of the Resistance, Eugène and his father escaped the convoy and survived – when so many others did not.

Former Poet Laureate Michael Rosen was inspired to tell this story after discovering his father’s uncle and aunt were on the same convoy as Eugène, but never returned. With powerful illustrations from Benjamin Phillips, whose work has been shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal for Illustration, this sensitive true-story picture book reminds us of the best of people, in the worst of times.

But what had he meant? The book explores the boy’s state of mind as he prepares for the return of his parents with his new baby sister.
