Books with author F. Graham

...is the hilarious and true account of a young man's journey that started in the shipyards of London's Docklands and ended up on a Mediterranean island. The story covers the life and loves of a working-class teenager who was given the opportunity to drag himself out of London's East End and into a better world. A great deal of the book is set on board the passenger liners of the eighties and nineties, where the author worked as an engineer officer. It is honest, funny, sometimes unbelievable, but an ultimately true story that many people from all walks of life can relate to and who will hopefully look back at their own lives and make them realise what a wonderful time they had.

Bob Graham beautifully captures a world vision in one solitary moment. From the multiple award-winning author-illustrator of How to Heal a Broken Wing and A Bus Called Heaven , comes a powerful and poignant celebration of the small moments in life – moments in which we sense the greatest significance, moments when we can see the big picture. At 9.59 on Thursday morning, Jodie draws a duck. Just as she is about to add one final silver button to the duck's boots, her little brother takes his first step. At this exact same moment, a man buys bread, a soldier leaves home, a baby is being born... Here is a book, a story, a philosophy so simply told and yet – in true and inimitable Bob Graham style – so rich with emotion and meaning. From his glorious urban skyscapes to the tender portrayal of a falling feather or the tying of a shoelace or a dog's joy in scratching his back, Bob lets us in on a world view conveyed with humanity, compassion and affection.

This fun rhyming book provides a positive view of going to the potty and encourages young toddlers to want to use it. In addition to the fun rhymes the pictures that accompany each page are photos of real boys and girls using a training potty and smiling. Knowing that other boys and girls use a potty and like it can be a HUGE help when toilet training. Also, several of the pictures are of children who are in the 10-18 month range so a lot of older children will be encouraged to 'go potty' if they think babies younger than they are use the toilet. This 18 page picture book helps make toilet training easier and lets your child see that other kids use the toilet too.
