"A wonderful illustration of what a great game baseball is and how
it brings families together. Brothers at Bat is a story any
baseball fan will enjoy and one that we all should know." --Hall of
Famer Cal Ripken, Jr. "A captivating story, impeccable layout, and
glorious illustrations make this historical account an unqualified
winner." --New York Times Book Review The amazing true story of the
longest-running all-brother team in history! Full of action, drama,
and excitement, the never-before-told tale of the Hall of Fame team
is vividly brought to life in expert storytelling and stunning
vintage-style art. The Acerra family had sixteen children,
including twelve ball-playing boys. It was the 1930s, and many
families had lots of kids. But only one had enough to field a
baseball team . . . with three on the bench! They loved the game,
but more important, they cared for and supported each other and
stayed together as a team. Nothing life threw their way--not even a
World War--could stop them.

Celebrate the power of differences with this funny and heartwarming children's book about a little girl who faces her fears on the first day of school -- and learns to love what makes her unique.
When Scarlet was born, her parents did the usual counting. Two eyes. One nose. Ten fingers. Ten toes. Also: one long, fluffy, fuzzy, furry tail. That was a surprise.
Born a bit different than expected, Scarlet has always embraced her uniqueness. When she starts preschool, though, she finds it can be a little scary to stand out from the crowd. But with the help of some new friends, Scarlet's infectious enthusiasm has everyone celebrating what makes her special!

line for the bathroom or in the backseat on a long car ride - and
sometimes five minutes feels like no time at all - like when you're
playing your favourite game or at the tippy top of a roller coaster
or snuggling up with a book before bedtime.
