It’s Blossom Possum’s birthday, and she’s far too excited to sleep!

But just as she was about to take a bite, Gumnut Man springs up and runs away!
Joined by her bush buddies Rocky Cocky, Toey Joey, Echo Gecko, Trilby Bilby and Okka Quokka, they go on a chase. But the Gumnut Man is too fast… until he meets By-jingo Dingo by the river.
Full of rhyme, rhythm, and onomatopoeia, Blossom Possum and the Gumnut Man is an Aussie twist on a classic tale full of suspense and humour with an unexpected yet satisfying ending.

AHA! Moments is a unique self-help book for adults because of the way it communicates powerful ideas for personal development through text and illustrations. Readers will be empowered to build confidence, better navigate stress and move forward and thrive.
At the heart of this book are ‘AHA! moments’ — powerful insights designed to transform self-limiting thoughts, unhelpful emotional reactions and self-defeating behaviours in the face of everyday stress.
The reader will meet Sunny, a character navigating life’s highs and lows who helps make AHA! Moments clear and relatable.
The AHA! moments are inspired by the insights and wisdom of leading international figures in philosophy, brain science, positive psychology and cognitive-behavioural and rational-emotive therapy including Ellis, Seligman, Maslow, Epictetus and even Shakespeare.
“AHA! Moments is like a psychologist and a cartoonist walked into a bar—and decided to save your sanity. Dr Michael Bernard serves up sharp, science-backed wisdom in bite-sized portions, while Helen James’ illustrations deliver the punchlines (and the insights) with flair. It’s funny, it’s wise, and it might just change how you think—about everything from stress to self-talk. Keep it on your desk, your bedside, or anywhere life gets a little bumpy.”— Dr Michael Carr-Gregg, Child, Adolescent and Family Psychologist
The Talking Therapies offers a practical roadmap for clinicians and therapists. Drawing on the Contextual Modual Therapy Model (CMT), Dr Coral Brown presents a therapy approach that is as grounded in theory as it is in lived clinical experience.
With decades of development behind it, this book offers mental health practitioners the tools to foster deep, relational changes within six sessions. Covering both the science and the art of therapy, Brown’s guidance helps clinicians manage performance anxieties, strengthen interpersonal attunement and deliver effective interventions for a range of common presenting issues.
This book goes beyond academic theory to address real-world challenges faced by therapists. Through detailed vignettes, session structures and targeted interventions, The Talking Therapies is essential reading for anyone seeking to deliver thoughtful, transformative care in a time-sensitive and resource-limited world.
