Me and My Diamond introduces children (but wonderful for the whole family) to the concept of their own inner wisdom, represented by the Diamond. The story centres around two children Molly and Joe and their much-loved grandma Binny. When Binny comes to look after Molly and Joe while their parents take a trip, the children discover a map of the Diamond Field in her suitcase. As it turns out, this is no ordinary map, but the gateway to adventures and self-knowledge.

You have probably not heard of Barbara Leigh Smith Bodichon but you certainly should have done. Name any 'modern' human rights movement, and she was a pioneer: feminism, equal opportunities, diversity, inclusion, mental health awareness, Black Lives Matter. While her name has been omitted from too many history books, it was Barbara that opened the doors for more famous names to walk through. And her influence owed as much to who she was as to what she did. This is a celebration of the life of the founder of Britain's suffrage movement.
