Storm In A Jar by Samuel Langley-Swain
Written by Samuel Langley-Swain and illustrated by Katie Cottle, this picture book for children is an incidentally-inclusive story about Arlo, and the emotional journey he takes after the sad passing of his Nana.
Whenever Arlo visited Nana, she would always have new sweets for him in a special jar. When she sadly passes away, Arlo keeps the jar to feel close with Nana and feel safe. As his sadness builds to anger, a storm erupts in the jar, until Arlo smashes it! Thoughtfully written by the author of What Wesley Wore- Samuel Langley-Swain, and illustrated by award-winning bookmater Katie Cottle, this children’s book encourages an open discussion to a younger audience about feelings of sadness and anger.

Owlet Press was founded by Samuel Langley-Swain in 2018, working with authors and illustrators with a shared passion – picture books which reflect the true diversity in children’s lives. Focusing on the challenges children face today and packaging these big issues into inclusive and accessible stories for small readers to digest and discuss with friends, families and schools. This indie children’s book publisher aims to change the world one book at a time, along with the best authors and illustrators to tell these stories.
Owlet Press have always published books that are ‘incidentally inclusive’ from day one and look to push this further with every title. With authors and illustrators from all walks of life – diversity is the driving ethos within this publisher. Owlet believe that it is key for young readers of colour to see children like them (and for white, non-disabled children to see children that don’t always look like them) in books experiencing the joy and magic of playful, imaginative stories – a belief that we share at Babipur.
