Review: I honestly wept the first time I heard this poem on YouTube … It really is SO special and so desperately needed during this current climate. It truly gives hope to those of us who question why the Covid-19 pandemic has caused such heartache to so many. I have purchased two of these - one for my 7-year-old step-granddaughter and one for my baby grandson (the latter being born in March of this year, just before the first lockdown, and who has proved a real ray of light and joy for our family in what, for us especially - without going into boring detail - has been a very difficult and dark time.) In years to come, I hope these children will look at this book to remind themselves that this was the start of the better things that came after (please God.) I would like to offer my admiration and thanks to the poet here, Tomos Roberts, for providing such an inspirational and wonderfully shining beacon of hope with this piece which I'm so glad was actually published in a book-format rather than just remaining online. Thank you, sir! As a fellow-poet, I take my hat off to you. :-)

Review: This is a lovely way to remember 2020. Store on your bookcase or in the loft for future generations. Take comfort in the knowledge others feel as you do and in a time when the world was changing, kindness is all that’s needed. P.s it did make me cry.

    Description: The second inspiring picture book from the creators of The Great Realisation.'All the things that make life wonderful, all the colours, sounds and tastes Begin to lose a touch of magic when your goodness goes to waste.' We all have within us 'potential', an amount of positivity and goodness that we could add to the world if we only try. But what if we don't try? What if it all seems too much and we just feel like staying in bed? As one little boy lies in bed one morning, not wanting to face the day, it's up to his older brother to show him the extraordinary potential within him and how even the smallest of his actions will make the world a better place. Tomos Roberts' sparkling new picture book is a manifesto for our time - urging us all to come together to build a brighter future, one small step at a time. Tomos Roberts' pandemic poem, The Great Realisation, was viewed over 60 million times online and translated into over 20 languages. It was adapted by Ashley Banjo and Diversity into a BAFTA-winning dance performance for Britain's Got Talent as well as being featured in the official BBC New Years Eve 2021 fireworks spectacular.

  • Waterstones Early Dynastic Egypt

    Price: £37.99

    Brand: Waterstones

     

    Description: Early Dynastic Egypt spans the five centuries preceding the construction of the Great Pyramid at Giza. This was the formative period of ancient Egyptian civilization, and it witnessed the creation of a distinctive culture that was to endure for 3,000 years. This book examines the background to that great achievement, the mechanisms by which it was accomplished, and the character of life in the Nile valley during the first 500 years of Pharaonic rule. The results of over thirty years of international scholarship and excavation are presented in a single highly illustrated volume. It traces the re-discovery of Early Dynastic Egypt, explains how the dynasties established themselves in government and concludes by examining the impact of the early state on individual communities and regions.
