We are delighted to have the wonderful Lucy Lapwing here in store to discuss her fantastic new book love is toad this Friday at 7pm 🐸

We still have some tickets left for the talk and signing, the earlier walk is now fully booked. Tickets from £5.

More about the book: ‘In Love Is a Toad, Lucy traverses meadows, bogs and hedgerows with her fellow nature enthusiasts, where she digs down into our relationship with the natural world. Over the course of a year, she meets bucketfuls of wildlife – Blackbird and Oak, slugs and puffballs, waterlilies, Dung Beetles and toads – as she roams across the UK.

From a river swim to wanders through woodlands, with every journey, Lucy explores how nature makes us feel, from wild grief and anger through to soaring joy and indefatigable hope. At once a celebration and an invitation to reflect, Love Is a Toad prods and pokes at our connection to the natural world, exploring its complexity in all its muddiness, messiness and wonder.’

We are so incredibly excited to share the news that we have been selected as a recipient of the Penguin Children’s Bookshop Grant!! 🎉

A couple of months ago we pitched our idea to Penguin 🐧 to be considered for their new children’s bookshop grant. We are ecstatic to be one of the 44 bookshops to have been awarded funding!!

This is an incredible opportunity and a new initiative to support independent bookshops to inspire young people to enjoy reading during The National Year of Reading.
