First Kiss and Other True Fiction
First Kiss and Other True Fiction โ€“ Evocative short pieces ranging from a little girlโ€™s terror, to an older childโ€™s disillusionment, to the glory (and confusion) of a budding adolescentโ€™s first kissโ€ฆ not without a dollop of humour.

How to be an Almost Perfect Parent โ€“ Friendly illustrated advice from a former family support worker. Professionals โ€“ and parents โ€“ love it!
