Review: Treeshape by Trace Balla

 The shape of a tree, the shape of me - Trace Balla

I loved Trace Balla's Leaf-Light; its feel of tranquility, sense of community and one with nature, and right from the cover of Treeshape I felt that same tranquility and connection to nature.

Treeshape is Trace Balla's own story. A personal story from the heart.

"Ever since I was a kid my favourite place has always been up a tree." - Trace Balla

Treeshape is a heartfelt memoir written as a graphic novel. It is a story filled with compassion and a deep appreciation of place.




Trace Balla uses visual storytelling. Trees have always been her go-to safety place. The book is exquisitely illustrated and hugely detailed. It is not a book that would be read in one sitting. The more you return to the story the more you see. 



Treeshape is not only a remarkable memoir it is also a visual delight. Presented with a combination of black & white sketches and real photos as layered images. Photos of the big old trees that matter most to Balla are included, giving the reader real glimpses of our natural world.

Treeshape is a book to ponder over and marvel in the beauty and scope of our natural world as Trace Balla takes her reader along as she travels around Australia. 

Treeshape is a unique masterpiece. certainly not like anything I've seen before.
The story showcases Trace Balla's love for the environment and her deep appreciation of place and connection with First Nation peoples.

Review: Maddy's Towers by Inbal Alon

Maddy's Towers by Inbal Alon is a tender and sensitive story about friendship, forgiveness and resilience.


illustrated by Mandira Biswas 

Publisher: Purple Works Press
Publication date: 28th April 2026
Genre: Children's Picture Book
Pages: 36
RRP: AU$21.51 (softcover Amazon)
Source: eCopy from the author

Maddy comes home from school upset, as her friend Mei had betrayed her trust. Mei had told their classmates Maddy's secret and everyone laughed at her.

Inbal Alon uses a block tower as a metaphor for trust. Maddy's mother explains to her that as Maddy and Mei's friendship grows blocks are added to the tower and when Mei told Maddy's secret the tower of trust was knocked down.

The next day at school Maddy approaches Mei with kindness and Mei acknowledges that she shouldn't have told Maddy's secret. Maddy asks Mei to sit with her at lunch. 
I loved how Maddy showed great forgiveness qualities however I do think Mei could have actually said she was sorry. (There is scope for discussion there).

It was now up to Maddy and Mei to start building the tower of trust again, through acts of kindness, building one block at a time.

I liked that Inbal Alon shows that friendships sometimes have rough periods and it is nice to give someone a second chance. The story also opens the opportunity for talk on resilience and thinking how you would feel if everyone was laughing at you.
There is also scope for discussion on empathy and what you can do to speak up if everyone is laughing at someone else.

Mandira Biswas' illustrations are endearing and give off a calming vibe that match the overall theme of friendship building.

Maddy's Towers is a simple story that opens up a wide area of discussion with young children.

The book's end pages have ideas to prompt talk about trust and feelings and a card making activity.

Review: The Fast Lane by Pip Harry

Right from the title page of The Fast Lane kids will love the extremely cute Daisy the pig as she is pictured in the middle of an extravagant dive; arms outstretched, goggles on, head up and a big smile on her face.


 illustrated by Katrin Dreiling

Publisher: Larrikin House
Publication date: 28th April 2026
Genre: Children's Picture Book
Pages: 32
RRP: AU$24.99 (hardcover)
Source: Courtesy of the publisher

Daisy loved to swim. Everyday she swam 100 laps. She always swam in the fast lane. This was her lane, until one morning Frank the Frog splashes in front of her. Frank assures Daisy there is plenty of room for both of them but Daisy doesn't want to share the fast lane.



Daisy was all about being the fastest and when Frank started slowing her down by using the fast lane Daisy was angry. Her anger overtook her enjoyment until she got to know Frank better and he showed her how to have fun at the pool too.
Daisy still likes the fast lane but now she also takes time to have fun, join the picnic and play in the splash pool.



The Fast Lane is such an endearing story. Daisy is all business, training everyday, until she finds that it's okay to stop and have some fun.

The Fast Lane is a charming story that is perfect for children that are all go, go, go. It tells overachievers, in a fun way, that it is okay to simply stop and have some fun.
The story is filled with humour and delight. The underlying message is subtle.

Katrin Dreiling's cartoon style illustrations are simply gorgeous; muted colours that bring the pool and outdoor settings to life. Frank's antics through the illustrations alone will have children laughing.

I love how the illustrations tell a story of their own. Very young children like to open a book and tell stories long before they can actually read and this cute book is perfect for those situations.

I think Frank the Frog needs a book all of his own.
The Fast Lane is my first picture book by Pip Harry and I'll be searching out more of her work.

Review: My Spinning Anxious Brain by Dani Vee

I love the cover of My Spinning Anxious Brain. The foiled title text grabs your attention. Then the fireworks, clouds and stars all spinning around, make me dizzy just looking at them. It really is an apt picture of a brain that is trying to process everything.


illustrated by Ruth-Mary Smith

Publisher: Larrikin House
Publication date: 31st March 2026
Genre: Children's Picture Book
Pages: 36
RRP: AU$24.99 (hardcover)
Source: Courtesy of the publisher

My Spinning Anxious Brain is an endearing story aimed at alleviating the stress of the overthinking child.




Anxious children will resonate with our young narrator as he explains the things that make him anxious and how this makes him feel. The story blends in coping strategies such as talking about how you feel with someone you trust, practicing grounding and being prepared for the day ahead.

Dani Vee champions courage, calmness, finding joy and forward planning to manage anxiety.

My Spinning Anxious Brain is a beautiful story told with compassion and moments of humour. It gives carers the opportunity to open conversations with children to better understand themselves and others.



Beautiful big bold cartoon style illustrations show our young narrator and his family as they help  manage his anxiety. The illustrations are filled with smiles and fun showing children that, if managed well and with help, anxiety need not rule your life.

My Spinning Anxious Brain is a positive story that encourages children to accept and love who they are.

My rating 5 / 5 🎆🚀🌠🎆🚀

Review: Inclusion by Zanni Louise

Handbooks for Little Humans: Inclusion by Zanni Louise is part of a series to help open conversations between children and carers about things that matter most. 

Inclusion is a wonderful book written on a child's level to discuss the importance of inclusion in all areas of their life.


illustrated by Jingting Wang

Publisher: Affirm Press
Publication date: 24th February 2026
Genre: Children's Picture Book
Pages: 24
RRP: AU$19.99 (hardcover)
Source: Courtesy of the publisher

Handbooks for Little Humans: Inclusion is a book to spark conversations, big and small; conversations on empathy, placing yourself in other people's situation and acting with kindness.

The story explains the concept of inclusion in simple words giving examples of times children may have been inclusive and not realised it. The story opens up conversations about when you have been inclusive and also when you have felt excluded and how that made you feel.

"When we're inclusive, we do our best to make everyone feel welcome, no matter who they are."
Everyone is different and that's a good thing we can listen and learn from each other and sometimes we may get it wrong but that's okay too. We can only do our best and try to grow with kindness.




Illustrations by Jingting Wang present the topic in a fun way with cartoon style pictures in bright colours.

I love the bright, splashy colours of the cover and that each new book in the series has a different colour making the collection bright and fun.

Handbooks for Little Humans: Inclusion is a fun book, thought provoking and easy to read.

Zanni Louise has, and is bringing out more books in the series with topics on compassion, integrity, fairness, confidence and friendship.

Handbooks for Little Humans will be a valuable resource, not only, for school libraries but home libraries as well.

My rating 5 /5 💜💜💜💜💜

Review: Saving Shark Pup by Sharon Dalgleish

We are currently loving reading true stories at Little Squirrel's Bookshelf. They showcase how amazing and fascinating the world around us can be.

Publisher: Allen & Unwin 
Publication date: 3rd February 2026
Genre: Children's Picture Book / Non Fiction

Shark Pup is swirled and tossed in the surf and ends up beached on the shore. Many people come to help. He is battered and disoriented and is taken to an ocean pool. Shark Pup's fin begins to droop. Will Shark Pup survive his night away from the deep ocean he knows? (spoiler: he does)

Children will be entranced as the suspense rises and everyone jumps into action to save Shark Pup. As the pages turn and Shark Pup's life hangs in the balance we see the wonderful people who dedicate their life to studying and saving our precious sea life.

Interesting facts are dispersed throughout the story making Saving Shark Pup a story that grows with your child and can be read over and over.

Saving Shark Pup is the perfect book for children who love sharks and whales and are fascinated by facts.


Amandine Thomas' illustrations bring the story to life in full double page spreads with cool blues and greens of the ocean and the yellows and oranges of the beach and sand.

Saving Shark Pup is an emotional and uplifting story about people working together that will be a treasured read for years to come.

Review: The Embarrassing Confessions of Gracie Sparks by Fiona Harris

The Embarrassing Confessions of Gracie Sparks is a fun, relatable story that will be loved by any young tween just trying to fit in.

Gracie was one of the cool girls in year 6 but she's starting at a different high school to all her friends. A school where no one will know her. But, she has a plan; make friends with the cool girls, join the school band and soon she will be just as popular as her older sister Imogen.

Gracie is such a wonderful character. She is basically a kind and thoughtful girl and a bit geeky. I could understand why she wanted to be in the cool group, doesn't everyone!

Follow along, through Gracie's diary entries as she fumbles her way through, old friendships, new friendships, mean girls and bullying to finally realising that just being yourself and broadening your horizons is all you need to make the best sorts of friends.

Gracie's mother had died in a car accident and even though she did miss her and it was integrated into the story it wasn't solely focused on this sad event. 

I liked the addition of the school library as a safe haven and a place where she could connect with her mother.

Lots of fascinating information on horoscopes may have some young readers searching for more information on astrology and star signs.

I loved that Gracie and her grandparents were so close and when things were at a low she had somewhere to go for unconditional love and praise. I laughed at all Gracie's funny sayings that she got straight from her grandparents.

The Embarrassing Confessions of Gracie Sparks is a humorous and heartfelt story about growing up and not knowing where you fit in anymore. It's about finding your place in a new environment, building resilience and trying to remember that other people may have bad things happening in their life that you don't know about. It holds a subtle message about always being kind.

I laughed all the way through and even got a little teary at the end. Gracie is funny, a little awkward and always thoughtful. She's a character who will stay in the hearts of many readers.

Light-hearted fun and a little bit of magic, Gnoming About: Tree Mail Adventure is a fun graphic novel for our littlest readers. A wonderful introduction to graphic novels with the story told mostly through visual story-telling.

Review: My Busy Brain by Natalie Shaw

My Busy Brain is a wonderful picture book that not only explains an ADHD busy brain but celebrates it.

Meet Max, he has a busy brain which likes to think of lots of things at once. It can be lots of fun but it can also be confusing.


Written & illustrated by Natalie Shaw

Publisher: Self Published
Publication date: 26th February 2025
Genre: Children's Picture Book
Pages: 24
RRP: $19.99AU (softcover)
Source: courtesy of the author

I loved the analogy Natalie has used in the book, of tiny cars racing around and sending messages around the brain and body.

Max's brain is so busy he forgets what he is meant to be doing. Sometimes he tries to slow down those busy cars and it can be really hard.

My Busy Brain explains that frustration is normal and if your busy brain is affecting how you function and feel there are lots of ways to help you through each day. Things like working together with family and teachers, making a routine chart or taking a prescribed  medication.

Max explains how his medication affects his brain and helps him to be calm and learn at school.

My Busy Brain is the perfect story for children diagnosed with ADHD and their carers.


I love Natalie Shaw's super simple, adorable and childlike illustrations using stick figures, which absolutely, perfectly suit this little book as it is narrated by Max and this is exactly how I imagine Max would draw the pictures.

My Busy Brain gives children a gentle way to learn about ADHD and many a child will see themselves in Max and discover that their busy brain is something to be celebrated

If you have a child with ADHD My Busy Brain explains everything on a child's level that is easy for them to take in and understand. Reading the book together opens up an avenue for discussion.

Review: Valerie by Lucinda Gifford

Valerie - Australia's Bravest Sausage Dog

This story of Valerie was inspired by the amazing true story of a little dachshund lost for 529 days in the wilderness of Kangaroo Island, before she was eventually captured and reunited with her family.

This feat of courage and resilience inspired Lucinda Gifford to reimagine Valerie's time on the island. 


In this enchanting and heartwarming picture book Valerie is not lost but having a grand adventure, living the beach life, eating delicious, mostly stolen, food and enjoying the freedom of the outdoors. Until, feeling a bit homesick, she takes a long and arduous journey back to her family.



Valerie is an engaging picture book filled with fun and adventure. The cheeky little Valerie knows exactly what she is doing, enjoying the freedom to run around the beach and explore the terrain.

The fun and jaunty text perfectly adds to the theme of merrymaking and excitement.

Eagerly, Valerie looked all around.
Joyfully, Valerie felt her heart pound.
The wind blew her ears back.
The wild ocean ROARDED.

Children will love following this mischievous little pup as she steals food and runs wild and free, wondering all the way through the story if Valerie will be reunited with her family.

Valerie is a heartwarming story of adventure and also realising that there is no better place than your own cosy bed after a day exploring.

Spend a day with Valerie as she unintentionally takes a boat ride, gets swept overboard, is rescued by a pod of dolphins and spends a glorious day at the beach, running and playing and having the time of her life.

Lucinda Gifford's artwork is a story in itself. Each scene clearly pictures the story as it moves along. These picture scenes make the book ideal for younger pre-readers to read alone and make up their own words to go with the illustrations.

Valerie - Australia's Bravest Sausage Dog will be a treasured addition to any home library and will be enjoyed by dog lovers everywhere.

This is an independent and unofficial story of Valerie.

Review: Celebration Festival by Alysia Kelly

 Right from the fun cover illustrations I knew we would love Celebration Festival by Alysia Kelly. There are balloons, lanterns, fireworks, dancing and stomping in a barrel of tomatoes. What could be more fun than a whole festival of celebrations!

Everyone in Evie's local community is coming together to share their special celebration in a spectacular Celebration Festival and Evie gets to crown the winner. How will she decide which celebration is the best?

This fabulous picture book goes through month by month featuring wonderful celebrations from around the world. Information and facts on the different celebrations are included at a level to be understood by the targeted audience of 4 - 8 years. Alysia Kelly doesn't only include big festivals but also fun, and maybe unknown, events like Spaghetti Day, Wildlife Day and World Laughter Day.



Celebration Festival is a delightful picture book packed with celebratory facts that will have you celebrating the whole year through.

Follow Evie and her cheeky little dog Biscuit as they join in with all the different celebrations from January through to December. There is so much to celebrate and be thankful for that it couldn't all fit into this book.

I loved the cartoon style illustrations by Ruth-Mary Smith. Evie is just gorgeous with her curly ginger hair and her cute, happy face. And you can't not fall in love with Biscuit the cheeky dog.




Celebration Festival is a book that will constantly be in use as each month's special days are celebrated with the whole family.
I'm excited for World Laughter Day Sunday 3rd May. Laughter is the best medicine. 🤣

This wonderful book isn't only a fun read that will keep the children engaged, it's also the perfect opener to talk about the different ways people celebrate around the world. You can start your own celebrations each month and also think of other celebration days not mentioned, and how people celebrate them.

Celebration Festival has so much scope for further activities, crafts, cooking and discussion in the classroom and at home.

Celebration Festival is a fun and valuable addition to any library.

Review: The Midnight Chew by Sally Morgan

 The Midnight Chew is a rollicking tale about the kindness of sharing when there is more than enough for one.

"On a cold and blustery winter's night Skippy Gillespie crept out for a bite...."


illustrated by Karen Blair

Publisher: Fremantle Press
Publication date: October 2025
Genre: Children's Picture Book
Pages: 32
RRP: $24.99AU (hardcover)
Source: Courtesy of the publisher

Join Skippy Gillespie and Boofa Boy Jones in this lively tale filled with humour, action and adventure.

Skippy sneaks out at night to find the bone he has buried at the local dump. He's been saving this bone for a late-night chew. He doesn't know that Boofa Boy is following him and he is bigger and stronger than Skippy. Boofa steals the bone and runs. What ensues is a race through the night but once back Boofa feels bad for stealing Skippy's bone and gives it back. In an act of kindness Skippy offers to share the bone. There is plenty for two.

Many children will relate to the plight of poor Skippy saving something precious only to have a bigger, stronger child take it. However this action-packed tale comes with a happy ending for everyone.




I loved the dark illustrations by Karen Blair. They perfectly portray the night time atmosphere with the street lights spotlighting small areas and the cats and rats out in the street watching the antics of the two dogs. There are so many small things, little gems on each page that you may not notice on a first reading. The frog in the pond and the little black cat who follows the dogs to the dump and all the way back. These little treasures add an extra dimension to this happy tale of enemies to friends, and the joy of sharing.



The Midnight Chew will have young children entranced as they wait to find out who will win the bone.
The fun rhyming prose roll off the tongue with ease which keeps the story moving along at a fast pace.

Award-winning First Nations author Sally Morgan and CBCA award-winning illustrator Karen Blair have created a playful, rhyming adventure that’s perfect for younger readers who love dogs.

For readers of Lynley Dodd and Julia Donaldson.
