The Legendary Casey Jones and Other American Folktales brings together many of Geoffrey Thomas’s short stories for the first time, each brimming with the big heartedness, warmth and homespun humour that he is known for. Sweeping through southern deltas, western prairies and colonial outposts, Geoffrey Thomas introduces a host of extraordinary characters in his mesmerising tales of American heritage: blacksmiths, farmers, frontiersmen try to get by; a brave railroad engineer becomes a national hero; a Native American girl changes the course of history. Perfect for Middle Grade (7-10 years) readers and teeming with gospel truth and encouragement, Thomas’s stories are a delight. -

Little Unicorn worries about everything. It stops her doing things she wants to do, and it makes her feel all alone. How will she ever join her friends on their wonderful stargazing trip? But, when she finally talks to Big Unicorn about her fears, perhaps they can find hope together. Inspired by a well-known Bible passage about worry, this book encourages children to talk about their worries and anxiety – and helps them discover how much God cares about them. Suzy Senior lives at the top of a huge hill in Yorkshire. Her background is in sales, working with lots of lovely bookshops and publishers. Suzy’s books include Tales from Christmas Wood, Unicorn Club and Octopants – which was selected by BookTrust for their Treasure Packs, and by CBeebies for their ‘Red Nose Day’ Bedtime Story. To date, she has been published by Little Tiger Press, Collins Big Cat, Lion Hudson and Kevin Mayhew, and has forthcoming titles with Farshore.
