This enduring survival story set at the end of the last Ice Age is
now celebrating its 20th year in print. When Maroo and her family
become trapped on the Great Plain in blizzard conditions and with
little food, they have only one chance of survival: for Maroo and
her younger brother, Otak, to reach the winter camp and get help.
The fastest trail to the camp is over the White Mountain, where
there are treacherous glaciers, steep climbs, and mountain spirits.
With the rest of their family depending on them, Maroo and Otak set
out alone. But when Otak goes missing, Maroo is forced to make the
most difficult of all decisions: to stay and search for her brother
or to continue on to the camp in order to save the rest of her
family. This modern classic offers readers a gripping tale of
survival as well as a vivid portrait of prehistoric people. The
20th Anniversary edition has a striking new cover and a new
Author's Note.
In 1802, Jean-Francois Champollion was eleven years old. That year, he vowed to be the first person to read Egypt’s ancient hieroglyphs. Champollion’s dream was to sail up the Nile in Egypt and uncover the secrets of the past, and he dedicated the next twenty years to the challenge. James Rumford introduces the remarkable man who deciphered the ancient Egyptian script and fulfilled a lifelong dream in the process. Stunning watercolors bring Champollion’s adventure to life in a story that challenges the mind and touches the heart.

Inspired by Wassily Kandinsky's 1940 painting, Sky Blue, this
delightful children's book delves into the kaleidoscopic mind of a
sleeping giant. Author Ve ronique Massenot and illustrator Peggy
Nille interpret Kandinsky's abstract characters as the somnolent
visions of a giant who stumbles into a village of microscopic
townspeople. Though the villagers initially fear the enormous
stranger, they soon discover a gentle soul through his beautiful
dreams. With its brightly colored palette and playful drawings,
this wonderfully imaginative book echoes Kandinsky's lively style.
As young readers explore the wonders of the miniature villagers'
world and the colossal giant's imagination, they will be inspired
to find their own way around Kandinsky's enigmatic masterpiece.
