Just before Christmas, an organ grinder and his monkey appear on the street corner outside Frances' apartment. Frances can see them from her window and, sometimes, when it's quiet, she can hear their music. She can't stop thinking about them, especially after she sees the man and his monkey sleeping outside on the cold street at midnight. Even when it is her turn to speak in the Christmas play, all she can think about is the organ grinder's sad eyes. Everyone is silent until Frances finds the perfect words to share, just in time.
The Incredible Journey meets The Mouse and His Child, an enchanting
tale that begs to be read aloud. The magical story of the
adventures of a lost toy rabbit from a New York Times bestselling
author, twice winner of the Newbery Medal. Abilene loves her blue
china rabbit, but Edward Tulane is extremely vain and only loves
himself. On a voyage from New York to London, Edward falls
overboard and from there finds himself on an amazing journey. He
travels with tramps, works as a scarecrow, comforts a dying child
... and finally learns what it is to truly love.
Once, in a house on Egypt Street, there lived a china rabbit named
Edward Tulane. The rabbit was very pleased with himself, and for
good reason: he was owned by a girl named Abilene, who adored him
completely. And then, one day, he was lost. . . .
Kate DiCamillo takes us on an extraordinary journey, from the
depths of the ocean to the net of a fisherman, from the bedside of
an ailing child to the bustling streets of Memphis. Along the way,
we are shown a miracle -- that even a heart of the most breakable
kind can learn to love, to lose, and to love again.
Edward Tulane, a cold-hearted and proud china rabbit, loves only
himself until he is separated from the little girl who adores him
and travels across the country, acquiring new owners and listening
to their hopes, dreams, and histories.
Jane Yolen introduces us to the fickle scarecrow, who decides to
leave his station and dance away the fall night. He leaps through
the fields until he reaches the farmhouse, where he sees a small
light in the window. Inside, a boy is saying his prayers, and he
offers up a special prayer for the corn that will be harvested in
the morning. Humbled, the scarecrow knows what he has to do: He
returns to the field and watches over the corn as only he can.
Masterfully told, with illustrations by award winner Bagram
Ibatoulline, this book has all the makings of a new classic.
Beautifully illustrated by Bagram Ibatoulline, an inspirational
biography of the Peace rose and its creator digs deep into world
history, botany and the rewards of perseverance. From a young man's
experiments in cross-pollination to the rose that became an
international symbol of hope, this gentle picture book biography,
beautifully illustrated by Bagram Ibatoulline, is a quiet epic of
war and peace. Francis Meilland was passionate about roses. He
loved their rich perfume, their buds unfurling in the summer sun,
and their petals, soft as lambs' ears. Like his father and
grandfather before him, Francis cultivated flowers on the family
farm in France. In his teens, he set about grafting and
experimenting, determined to create a rose no one had seen before,
and as the world braced for World War II, he rushed cuttings to
rose-growing friends around the globe. Ten patient years later,
word reached him: his rose had not only flourished; people were
calling it the Peace Rose. An ideal gift for science and history
buffs and for gardeners of all ages, this life story of a special
flower is also a love song to living a dream from beginning to end,
through sun and through storm.

Author Michelle Houts and illustrator Bagram Ibatoulline explore the magic of one of the seaside’s greatest wonders and the bonds that link us through time.
One summer, Thomas visits his grandmother at her seaside cottage. She gives him a magnifying glass that once belonged to his grandfather, and with it Thomas explores the beach. When his grandmother shows him a piece of sea glass, Thomas is transfixed. That night he dreams of an old shipyard and the breaking of a bottle. Could the very piece of sea glass on his nightstand have come from that bottle? For the rest of the summer, he searches for more sea glass and hopes to have dreams that will reveal more of the sea’s secrets...
A stunning ode to stories and the seaside, this picture book invites readers to imagine the ocean of possibility that lives in every small or forgotten treasure.
