A lyrical nonfiction celebration of the outdoors pairing childlike
observation with facts about the natural world Outside, you notice
things. Time spent in the outdoors stirs a child's imagination.
Nature sparks wonder, wonder leads to curiosity, and curiosity
brings about a greater knowledge of the world and one's self. In
Outside, You Notice, a meditative thread of child-like observations
(How after the rain / Everything smells greener) is paired with
facts about the habits and habitats of animals, insects, birds, and
plants (A tree's roots reach as wide as its branches). Author Erin
Alladin invites young scientists and daydreamers to look closely
and think deeply in this lyrical nonfiction text, celebrating all
the kinds of "outside" that are available to children, from
backyards to city parks to cracks in the sidewalk. Illustrator
Andrea Blinick portrays these spaces bursting with small wonders
with a child's-eye view, her naive and nostalgic style capturing
the joy of endless discovery. "The detailed text and varied images
immerse readers in the feeling of being outside, fully attentive
and relaxed....The illustrations use soft coloring, varied
perspectives, and active characters to great effect, pulling
observers into the worlds of plants, animals, and the people who
love them. This lovely book is more than the sum of its
parts."-Kirkus Starred Review
How IS matzah made? A step-by-step exploration in photographs.
Corrugated Castle. Fancy Foil Fish Mobile. Paper Bead Bangles. Braided Rag Coasters. Old Shoe Flower Pots. Puppy Dog Sock Puppet. With a little imagination, just about anything we think of as trash can be transformed into an art project good enough to give as a gift or to keep and treasure yourself. In her first Storey Kids book, "Nature's Art Box, master crafter Laura C. Martin showed kids how pebbles, twigs, seedpods, and shells can be turned into things of beauty. Now in "Recycled Crafts Box, she uses as her art supplies the paper, plastic, metal, and cloth we usually consign to the recycling bin or the garbage can. The way Martin sees it, just about everything around us holds artistic possibilities. Plastic picnic plates can be cut up to make a bouquet of flowers that will never wilt (and don't need watering). Roll leftover gift wrap into tight tubes and cut it into small sections to make one-of-a-kind beads. Decorate the sides of old paint cans with acrylic paint and tie sturdy rope to the handles to make a pair of stilts. Along the way, Martin offers sidebars on the history of rubbish and profiles of artists whose medium is junk. She passes along important lessons about being a good steward of the Earth. But the lessons are light and fun--never preachy. Fun for kids, perfect for involved and home-schooling parents, and ideal for schoolteachers who have seen their art supply budgets slashed, "Recycled Crafts Box shows budding artists how to make something beautiful and save the planet at the same time.
Long before the natural-food movement gained popularity, Edna Lewis
championed purity of ingredients, regional cuisine, and
farm-to-table eating. She was a chef when female chefs--let alone
African American female chefs--were few and far between. With
lyrical text and watercolor illustrations, Robbin Gourley traces
the roots of Edna's appreciation for the bounties of nature through
the seasons. Folk rhymes, and songs about food are sprinkled
throughout the text, and five kid-friendly recipes and an author's
note about Edna's life are included.
