She can skate . . . but can she bake? In this charming sequel to Mice Skating, Lucy, the adventure-loving mouse, learns that everyone needs a little help sometimes--and that's okay. When a blustery, blizzardy snowstorm forces even winter-loving Lucy the mouse indoors, she decides to treat her friends to some home-baked sweets. Unfortunately, Lucy insists on doing everything herself--and it turns out that, for her, baking is MUCH harder than skating. Soon, the oven explodes . . . and so does Lucy's temper. Luckily, her pals are happy to lend a paw once Lucy realizes that we all have different strengths, and that it's okay to ask for help when you need it. With a little teamwork, sugar, and spice, Lucy and her BFFs just might get the delicious cheesecake they've been waiting for.

Perfect for fans of Ocean Meets Sky and Drawn Together, this lyrical, "heartwarming" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) picture book about a special friendship between an old man and a little bird celebrates the power of music, family, and the legacies our loved ones leave behind. The old man played joyful, jolly music. Sad, soulful music. Beautiful, bountiful, breathtaking music. Little Bird listened...until she couldn't stay quiet any longer. Then, she sang. "Bravo, Little Bird!" cheered the old man. From this moment on, Little Bird and the old man are inseparable. Together, they make music and share their gifts with their families. But over time, the old man starts to grow tired...until the day comes when his piano playing stops altogether. As Little Bird looks for a special way to honor the old man's memory, she soon discovers that her friend isn't truly gone after all-he lives on in their music.

A winter wonderland is twice as nice when you have friends to share it with. For most field mice, winter means burrowing down and snuggling in. But not for Lucy!

After a disastrous indoor snowball fight, she finally succeeds at getting her three best pals outdoors to make snow angels and "mice skate" on the pond using the pine-needle skates she has made for them. Together they bloom like spring! With intricately detailed illustrations, this funny, punny, warmhearted love song to winter - and to one bold, generous mouse - will have kids bundling up to scoop some outdoor fun of their own.
