Caldecott Honor and Geisel Honor Book What are you waiting for? An
owl, a puppy, a bear, a rabbit, and a pig-all toys arranged on a
child's windowsill-wait for marvelous things to happen in this
irresistible picture book by the New York Times-bestselling and
Caldecott Medalist Kevin Henkes. Five friends sit happily on a
windowsill, waiting for something amazing to happen. The owl is
waiting for the moon. The pig is waiting for the rain. The bear is
waiting for the wind. The puppy is waiting for the snow. And the
rabbit is just looking out the window because he likes to wait!
What will happen? Will patience win in the end? Or someday will the
friends stop waiting and do something unexpected? Waiting is a big
part of childhood-waiting in line, waiting to grow up, waiting for
something special to happen-but in this book, a child sets the
stage and pulls the strings. Timeless, beautiful, and deeply
heartfelt, this picture book about imaginative play, the seasons,
friendship, and surprises marks a new pinnacle in Caldecott
Medalist Kevin Henkes's extraordinary career. "The short sentences
of the text flow with the precision one would expect from a master
picture-book creator like Henkes. Little ones, to whom each
experience is new, will know what it's like to dream and wait."-ALA
Booklist
Babies and toddlers will love to touch these eight different zoo
animals: panda, elephant, giraffe, bird, frog, turtle, seal, and
lion. This deluxe touch-and-feel book is based on the children's
classic, "pat the bunny." Full color.
A Brain Pickings Best Children's Book of 2018 "The rambunctiously
designed illustrations of bugs, plants, fruit, snails, and other
aspects of the natural world are done in simple, warm, unshaded
colors and black crayonlike outlines that echo and support the
narrative's ingenuousness, as does the hand-lettered text. It
doesn't take itself too seriously-some segments are endearingly
silly, especially the asides of some of the critters voicing their
opinions. What sets this book apart from so many others with the
same theme of the nourishment derived from connecting with life is
its infectious joy, delivered simply and sincerely."-STARRED
REVIEW, Kirkus Reviews Starting from the premise that everything is
alive-a feeling that is deep and immediate for many children-Be
Still, Life draws the reader into a still place where everything is
moving. Thought-provoking in its depiction of the relationship
between stillness and motion, this is certain to engage children,
slowing them down through sheer fascination and delight. Ohara Hale
is a multi-disciplinary artist. Born in Hollywood, California, she
now lives in Montreal, Quebec. She works as a fine artist,
illustrator, musician/singer, director, animator, voiceover actor,
graphic designer, and art director. Hale shares her studio with her
dog, Banana. Hale loves all creatures, including spiders and
snakes!
