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.

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! She loves snow crunching under her paws and wearing a fluffy wool hat. But most of all, Lucy loves to skate and she is ACHING to share her new skill with her friends. 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.

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 poignant Christmas tale about a tree who loved trains, and a little boy who loved them, too.

A pine tree grew in the farthest corner of the tree farm on a small patch of land that bordered the train track. The tree loved trains. She loved to watch them ZOOM by on the tracks beside the tree farm. Her branches would ripple in the wind as the trains roared past.

But one morning, when a little boy picks her to be his Christmas tree, she is uprooted and brought to a home far from the ZOOMING trains she loves…

Beautiful art from Paola Zakimi brings to life this lovely Christmastime tale from Annie Silvestro, perfect for readers who love The Giving Tree and The Velveteen Rabbit.
