6 Chelsea Walk Bindup 1

Discover the extraordinary lives of the inspiring girls who have lived throughout history at 6 Chelsea Walk. 1764: Mary Ann wishes to become an opera singer, but when she's forced to leave her school, her dreams are dashed. Can Mary Ann find a way to sing again? 1857: Lizzie is sent to London to live with her aunt and uncle. She misses her mother and her garden in the country, but when she discovers her mother is in danger, she must find the courage to rescue her. Two inspiring stories of girls fighting for their dreams.

A Year in My Life

A kids’ journal quite unlike any other, this beautifully illustrated book invites children to record a year of their life by filling in the 365 quirky drawing and writing activities—one for every day of the year. Activities are fun, quick—so no excuse to miss any days!—and imaginatively offbeat, so journalers might be invited to “Draw a scene that happened today, but give the people animal heads” or “Write down every feeling you remember feeling today” or simply just “Sum up today in a single word.” At the end of the 365 days, children will end up with an amusing, creative, and offbeat record of a year in their life to treasure in years to come.
