Mr Mountain has seen it all - from the arrival of the very first plants and worms, to dinosaurs, mammals, and, more recently... humans. Even when they climb all over him, Mr Mountain is very good at keeping calm and steady, and is determined to spend his long life resting his heavy arms and eyelids. Until one day, when he is disturbed from his slumber by a little voice asking him to 'Move, Mr Mountain!'.It seems his neighbour Lily is desperate for him to move out of the way so she can see what's on the other side of him. But of course a mountain cannot move, and at this Mr Mountain finally loses his temper! The wind picks up, snow starts to fall and the ground begins to rumble and shake... but little Lily remains unfazed. Can they set aside their differences and find a way to get along?This heart-warming story includes themes on unexpected friendships, consideration for others and an appreciation for all the beauty the world has to offer.

A modern-day response to The Giving Tree, this lyrical picturebook shows how a family passes down love from generation to generation, leaving a legacy of growing both trees and community. Once there was a wide-open field, and a boy who loved his grandmother, who loved him back. The boy's grandmother gives him many gifts, like hugs, and Sunday morning pancakes, and acorns with wild and woolly caps. And all her wisdom about how things grow. As the boy becomes a father, he gives his daughter bedtime stories his grandmother told him, and piggyback rides. He gives her acorns, and the wisdom he learned about how things grow. His daughter continues the chain, then passing down gifts of her own. Here is a picture book about the legacy of love that comes when we nurture living things--be they people or trees.

Hr. Bjerg lever en stille og rolig tilværelse. Han har stået det samme sted i millioner af år. Og det er han ganske godt tilfreds med. Men en dag bliver Hr. Bjerg forstyrret. “Hallo, Bjerg. Flyt dig lige lidt!” er der en stemme, der råber. Hr. Bjerg bliver meget overrasket: Hvilket lille menneske vover at forstyrre ham? Nedenfor hans fod står pigen Lily. Og hun vil gerne se verden, men det store bjerg står i vejen. Hr. Bjerg prøver at skræmme pigen væk ved at vride regn ud af skyerne, lade blæsten suse og sneen falde, men Lily er ligeglad. Hun fortsætter med sit: Flyt dig lige! Til sidst ser Hr. Bjerg sig nødsaget til at lære Lily at klatre, og en dag bliver der pludselig stille. Lily er væk. Og for første gang synes hr. Bjerg, at tiden føles lang.Flyt dig, hr. Bjerg er en smukt illustreret billedbog om en handlekraftig pige med mod på verden.

Detta är en vackert illustrerad och hjärtevärmande bilderbok som följer en familjs farofyllda resa för att fly från sitt krigshärjade hemland. Den utforskar teman som motståndskraft, hopp och den universella mänskliga upplevelsen av att söka trygghet och tillhörighet.

Hvordan oppleves det å måtte legg alt, bak seg og reise til et fremmed land, språk og kultur, til et ukjent sted? Da krigen kom, la en mor og hennes to barn ut på en slik reise. De fryktet det ukjente, men hadde også et stort håp for fremtiden.
