Against the background of broad brush strokes of Nepal's history and geography, David Hawker tells a dramatic story. After 20 years working in Nepal, Nurse Ellen Findlay saw an opportunity to go and attempt to meet the desperate needs of people living in the remote and inaccessible mountains of Nepal. With vision, determination and bravery, she and surgeon Mike Smith pioneered outreach into some of Nepal's most isolated and poverty-stricken communities. For 25 years, 7-10 day surgical, medical and dental camps were organised, treating more than 100,000 sick people during civil war and political upheaval, many in places with no roads or airstrips. Finally, after the massive earthquake of 2015, specialist gynaecological and ear centres were established to provide ongoing treatment and training for Nepali clinicians.

We can no longer look the other way when it comes to sustainability. An unhealthy planet means unhealthy people. This book gives the child the knowledge to ask the right questions about the food they buy. When we buy food, we have a role in making the right choices. The intention of this book is to raise awareness about how seafood is produced and making those right choices for your dinner table. In the back of the book there is a section that helps the big person in the room to understand the broader issues. Together, child and adult are encouraged to team up when shopping for food for a sustainable planet.

Willy and Wally are windscreen wipers. They're what now? They are windscreen wipers, you know those things that keep car windscreens clear when it rains or snows. But they're very special windscreen wipers. These windscreen wipers come to life when people (that's you and me) are not looking. Next time you are in a car with your family, take a look. But don't touch them! They may be special too. Our mischievous windscreen wipers (as in cheeky monkeys!), love to go on adventures in their home town of Bryson-on-the-Walk. When they do they are helped by their friends. There's Milly and Molly the mirrors, 'Enery the engine, Horatio the headlight and Boddington the bumper. I first met Willy and Wally on a journey to London many, many years ago. It was raining and they did a grand job in keeping the windscreen clear and so kept me safe. Of course I didn't know their names back then but I soon found out.... Find out what happens in this their first adventure when they hear a very strange noise coming from the back of their car.
