Presidential Medal of Freedom, Nobel Prize, and Pulitzer Prize
recipient Toni Morrison’s eight children’s books, cowritten
with her son, are collected in one hardcover volume for the first
time in this beautiful keepsake treasury with a foreword by Oprah
Winfrey! The three Who’s Got Game books slyly and exuberantly
retell some of Aesop’s fables. Three of the stories feature
illustrations by Pascal Lemaitre: The Ant or the Grasshopper?
examines friendship, betrayal, and survival while The Lion or the
Mouse? takes a hilarious, subversive look at bullying and ego, big
and small, and The Poppy or the Snake? shows how an accidental
injury spirals into a battle of wills. In The Tortoise or the
Hare?, illustrated by Joe Cepeda, slow and steady wins the
race…or does it? Peeny Butter Fudge, also illustrated by Joe
Cepeda, celebrates the relationship between three kids and their
Nana. Nana can take an ordinary afternoon and make it extra
special! Nap time, story time, and playtime are transformed by
fairies, dragons, dancing, and pretending—and then mixing and
fixing yummy, yummy fudge just like Nana and Mommy did not so many
years ago. A lot can happen when Nana is left in charge! Little
Cloud and Lady Wind features artwork by Sean Qualls and follows
Little Cloud, who likes her own place in the sky. Away from the
other clouds, the sky is all hers. Can Lady Wind show Little Cloud
the power of being with others? Shadra Strickland’s charming
illustrations illuminate Please, Louise. One gray afternoon, Louise
makes a trip to the library. With the help of a new library card
and through the transformative power of books, what started out as
a dull day turns into one of surprises, ideas, and curiosity! This
engaging picture book celebrates the wonders of reading, the
enchanting capacity of the imagination, and, of course, the
splendor of libraries. Toni Morrison’s first book for children,
The Big Box, illustrated by Giselle Potter, introduces three feisty
children who show grown-ups what it really means to be a kid.

In October 1918, during World War I, nearly seven hundred American
soldiers were trapped behind enemy lines with no prospect of
rescue. Allied troops did not have access to their location, and
every attempt at communication provoked more casualties. Their only
hope-to dispatch a trained messenger pigeon to reach help miles
away. This unforgettable story celebrates courage and determination
in its most vulnerable form. Cher Ami was shot down during her
mission yet managed to save many lives, proving her fearless flight
was a remarkable one.
A playful look at sibling love that celebrates the special bond of
sisters A little sister envies her big sister: for being so tall,
for having all her grown-up teeth, for swinging so high at the
playground. But it turns out her big sister admires her just as
much: for being so funny, for doing her famous wiggle dance, for
being her little sister! In this heartwarming and playful story of
mutual sibling appreciation, Giselle Potter perfectly reflects how
we all want to be someone else sometimes-but that at the end of the
day, it's best to be exactly who we are!
""I smell the blood of an Englishwoman.Be she alive or be she dead,

A girl makes her own dollhouse in this picture book that celebrates creativity and imagination!
A little girl proudly walks the reader through her handmade dollhouse, pointing out the bricks she painted on the outside, the wallpaper she drew on the inside, the fancy clothes she made for her dolls, and the little elevator she made out of a paper cup. She s proud of her house and has lots of fun using her imagination to play with it until she discovers her friend Sophie s perfect storebought house. Sophie thinks her house, with everything matching and even a toilet seat that goes up and down, is pretty perfect too, until both girls discover that the narrator s handmade dollhouse is really a lot more fun."
"Tell the truth and shame the devil," Libby's mama has told her. So whatever is Libby doing wrong? Ever since she started telling only the truth, the whole world seems to be mad at her. First it's her best friend, Ruthie Mae, who gets upset when Libby tells all their friends that Ruthie Mae has a hole in her sock. Then Willie gives her an ugly look when she tells the teacher he hasn't done his homework. It seems that telling the truth isn't always so simple. Children will sympathize with Libby as she struggles to figure out that even though it's always wrong to tell a lie, there's a right and a wrong way to tell the truth. Giselle Potter's naively stubborn illustrations perfectly capture this humorous and poignant story by award-winning author Patricia C. McKissack.
Words. Selig collects them, ones that stir his heart (Mama!) and
ones that make him laugh (giggle). But what to do with so many
luscious words? After helping a poet find the perfect words for his
poem (lozenge, lemon, and licorice), he figures it out: His purpose
is to spread the word to others. And so he begins to sprinkle,
disburse, and broadcast them to people in need.
