Books Included in This Collection:
Grandad's Island
Grandad's Island follows Syd as he visits his Grandad's house at the bottom of the garden, stepping through a familiar gate into a world where stories linger after the doors close. When Grandad isn't in his usual places, Syd learns that love can endure beyond absence, turning worry into hopeful curiosity.
Grandma Bird
A tender extension of The Storm Whale world, Grandma Bird invites Noi to try a new home away from his own. Noi is unsure about staying with Grandma, where seaweed soup and small rituals shape each day. Davies' gentle pacing and warm illustrations reassure children that family support shines brightest in unfamiliar places.
The Storm Whale
On a wind-swept coast, Noi and his fisherman father discover a baby whale washed up after a storm. Their compassionate care, the whale’s trust, and the quiet courage of small acts form the heart of this tale. Davies’ sea-blue illustrations capture both danger and wonder with tenderness.
The Storm Whale in Winter
Winter settles the island in snow and ice, and Noi worries the little whale he saved can survive. The sea seems distant, yet their shared care anchors them through hardship. Davies blends quiet peril with hopeful moments, turning a winter tale into a testament to perseverance and the comfort of loyal friendship.
Tad: A big story about a brave minibeast
A big story about a brave minibeast named Tad, who discovers courage in the small scale of his world. When other creatures drift away, Tad wonders if Big Blub will stay or go. The tale sparkles with playful energy and a gentle message about resilience and belonging.
The Grotlyn
What is the mysterious Grotlyn? Davies invites children to peek behind the town’s corners to meet a creature that is part prank, part friend. When a comic misstep—like a missing knickers incident—unfolds, readers enjoy a light mystery that balances suspense with warmth and humor.
