Looking for some good books for your children over the holidays? Here are a few recent releases:

Runt by Craig Silvey

'Runt' was one of last year’s shortlisted books and is now the new Aussie film hitting cinemas this week. It follows ten-year-old Annie and her stray dog as they attempt to win money to save the family farm.

Runt is a heartwarming and hilarious tale of kindness, friendship, hurdles, hoops, tunnels, see-saws, and, above all, being yourself and bringing out the best in others.
