Huge thanks to Lola @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social for sending Snow by Meera Trehan & Anya's Quest by @jasbinderbilan.bsky.social, illustrated by Jane Ray. I’m lucky enough to have read Anya's Quest already so am resharing the link to my review below:

worldssmallestlibrary.wordpress.com/2024/09/22/a...
The 2 books. Snow’s cover shows a boy and a girl each standing on a closed book and both stretching towards a butterfly in front of a palace with a mountain behind it. Anya’s Quest’s cover shows Indian goddess Ganga, who has 4 arms, in front of snowy mountains with the figure of a small girl facing her.

A photo of Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury sitting at a table with a white cloth, with a window behind them looking out to a beautiful garden. They are facing the camera and on the table in front of them is a copy of their new book Oh Dear Look What I Got, open, and Helen is partway through turning the page. A copy of Oh Dear Look What I Got laid on a dark wood table, around it are festive items including red ribbon, candy canes, fairy lights, red berries, evergreen tree leaves, and a red gift tag with "Merry Christmas" written on it.
