In store now! From What Is to What If by Rob Hoskins
As a part of our Books For Wellbeing Scheme, every week we take a look at a title from our list, and a small commentary from the person who suggested it.
This week, we’re taking a look at one of Clare’s choices, From What is to What If, by Rob Hoskins. Here’s what Clare had to say about it:
“This was lockdown #1 reading for me and a group of friends who chose to come together and share our thoughts about the book. It is full of inspiring stories from people around the world who are doing things differently, creating inclusive and safe places and spaces for all to share. It is a book of imagining our future, what it could be like, smell like, taste like and it gave me great hope at a time when things seemed so uncertain and a time when it felt like a new stories needed to be born.”

From What is to What If, by Rob Hoskins
Paperback £10.99
What if we took play seriously? What if we considered imagination vital to our health? What if we followed nature's lead? What if school nurtured young imaginations?What if things turned out okay?Rob Hopkins asks the most important question that society has somehow forgotten - What If? Hopkins explores what we must do to revive and replenish our collective imagination.
If we can rekindle that precious creative spark, whole societies and cultures can change - rapidly, dramatically and unexpectedly - for the better. There really is no end to what we might accomplish. From What Is to What If is the most inspiring, courageous and necessary book you will read this year; a call to action to reclaim and unleash the power of our imaginations and to solve the problems of our time.
Meet the individuals and communities around the world who are doing it now - and creating brighter futures for us all. At last, we have a design for our dreams. I believe we have a debt of honour to take action.

We are open:
Monday - Saturday
10am - 5.30 pm
We are back open six days a week, with the whole store open for browsing. We will still of course be taking customer orders and you will still be able to buy food and cleaning products online through our online store.
We are able to be open 6 days a week again because of your consideration and care whilst in the shop. Though things are opening up, covid cases are still high and a lot of our staff have only received one jab. So we are asking customers to continue to leave that extra space, sanitise their hands and pull on their mask. We really appreciate it.
