From the award-winning team behind Ida, Always and This Way,
Charlie comes an uplifting story of animal friendship, inspired by
a real-life pair of storks whose bond overcame great distance Best
friends Malena and Klepetan always adventure together! The two
excitedly prepare to fly thousands of miles for the flock's annual
migration to a warm winter. But when Malena is injured, she stays
in Croatia while Klepetan goes to South Africa-and the pair must
navigate the turbulent winds of separation for the first time.
Being apart is hard. Malena and Klepetan miss each other achingly,
and they have big feelings about adventuring on their own. But even
over the vast distance, the two brave explorers discover ways to
enjoy their separate seasons while keeping their hearts
connected-and their hopes aloft that spring will bring them back
together.
A touching and lyrical tale about a remarkable sea otter, from
Newbery Medalist Katherine Applegate, author of Wishtree. Meet
Odder, the Queen of Play: Nobody has her moves. She doesn't just
swim to the bottom, she dive-bombs. She doesn't just somersault,
she triple-doughnuts. She doesn't just ride the waves, she makes
them. Odder spends her days off the coast of central California,
practising her underwater acrobatics and spinning the quirky
stories for which she's known. She's a fearless daredevil, curious
to a fault. But when Odder comes face-to-face with a hungry great
white shark, her life takes a dramatic turn, one that will
challenge everything she believes about herself - and about the
humans who hope to save her. Inspired by the true story of a
Monterey Bay Aquarium program that pairs orphaned otter pups with
surrogate mothers, this poignant and humorous tale told in free
verse examines bravery and healing through the eyes of one of
nature's most beloved and charming animals.

The earth is old and we are not, and that is all you must remember
. . . Eleven-year-old Willodeen adores creatures of all kinds, but
her favourites are the most unlovable beasts in the land: strange
beasts known as 'screechers'. The villagers of Perchance call them
pests, even monsters, but Willodeen believes the animals serve a
vital role in the complicated web of nature. Lately, though, nature
has seemed angry indeed. Perchance has been cursed with fires and
mudslides, droughts and fevers, and even the annual migration of
hummingbears, a source of local pride and income, has dwindled. For
as long as anyone can remember, the tiny animals have overwintered
in shimmering bubble nests perched atop blue willow trees, drawing
tourists from far and wide. This year, however, not a single
hummingbear has returned to Perchance, and no one knows why. When a
handmade birthday gift brings unexpected magic to Willodeen and her
new friend, Connor, she's determined to speak up for the animals
she loves, and perhaps even uncover the answer to the mystery of
the missing hummingbears. A timely and timeless tale about our
fragile earth, and one girl's fierce determination to make a
difference.

A gentle blend of spooky and sweet, I Will Read to You is a unique
rhyming bedtime tale about empathy, storytime...and monsters. Once
upon a time, there was a boy who loved stories-scary ones about
skeletons and witches, giants and ghosts, vampires, dragons,
mummies and goblins. But he wondered...do monsters have anyone to
read to them? Armed with only a book and a flashlight (and with his
bemused mother in tow), he travels through the night, calling
together every monster he can think of to make sure they get the
bedtime story they need. Delightfully spooky and surprisingly
tender, I Will Read to You celebrates monsters, stories, and the
way a good book can bring us together. (Don't forget to find the
little orange monster hidden on almost every page!)

From acclaimed author Elana K. Arnold and with illustrations by
Charles Santoso, A Boy Called Bat is the first book in a funny,
heartfelt, and irresistible young middle grade series starring an
unforgettable young boy on the autism spectrum. For Bixby Alexander
Tam (nicknamed Bat), life tends to be full of surprises-some of
them good, some not so good. Today, though, is a good-surprise day.
Bat's mom, a veterinarian, has brought home a baby skunk, which she
needs to take care of until she can hand him over to a wild-animal
shelter. But the minute Bat meets the kit, he knows they belong
together. And he's got one month to show his mom that a baby skunk
might just make a pretty terrific pet.

Inspired by viral online stories during the 2019-2020 wildfires in
Australia featuring wombats 'saving' other animals taking shelter
in their burrows, here is a lyrical story about strangers in need
of refuge. Up on the hill, Wallaby licks a puddle's last drop.
Skink slips into the shade. Echidna hides in grass as dry as
tinder. Under the hill, Wombat carves out a cave that's all his
own. Then-KABOOM!-lightning strikes. Written in simple and concise
language perfect for a read aloud, award-winning author Sarah L.
Thomson invites readers to see through the eyes of a wombat as the
fire rages through Australia. Nearly 3 billion animals were
affected by the Australian wildfires of 2020, and wombats played a
crucial part in allowing their homes to transform as safe havens
for other animals whose homes were destroyed in the fires. Paired
with stunning and richly layered art by Charles Santoso, Wombat
Underground teaches us that the time of greatest danger is also the
time to open our door to those in the greatest need.
