In store now! What Is a Refugee?, by Elise Gravel

A bright, clear, and easily understood answer to one of our most pressing problems, What is a Refugee? aims to educate children and inspire them to make a difference. Filled with hope, compassion and eye-catching illustrations, this book follows displaced children on their journey from their home countries to their new life, and focuses on our similarities, rather than our differences. A unique and powerful read, this book will inspire our children to stand up for those less fortunate.

We are back open six days a week, with the whole store open for browsing. We will still of course be taking customer orders and you will still be able to buy food and cleaning products online through our online store. 

We are able to be open 6 days a week again because of your consideration and care whilst in the shop. Though things are opening up, covid cases are still high and a lot of our staff have only received one jab. So we are asking customers to continue to leave that extra space, sanitise their hands and pull on their mask. We really appreciate it.
