Can a long-forgotten song bring the snow back to Freya's town? A
lyrical fable from award-winning creators Jon-Erik Lappano and
Byron Eggenschwiler. Freya has always loved the snow and the way it
covers everything like powdered sugar. But the snow hasn't come to
her town for two winters, and she's starting to forget what it
looks and feels like. When will it be cold? When will it snow
again? One day Freya finds a snow globe at the market. It plays the
melody of a song that the townspeople sang for generations to call
the snow home. Freya's own grandmother used to sing it to her
mother on cold winter nights. Every morning, Freya takes the snow
globe outside and sings the song, but still there is no snow ...
until she has the idea to share the song. Soon everyone in town is
singing it, and then, early one morning, the winds change. Jon-Erik
Lappano and Byron Eggenschwiler have created an eloquent fable
about remembering past traditions, our connection to nature and
caring for a world threatened by climate change through shared
effort and hope. Correlates to the Common Core State Standards in

Two tales, set in a time "when animals and human beings still
talked to each other," display Thomas King's cheeky humor and
master storytelling skills. Freshly illustrated and reissued as an
early chapter book, these stories are perfect for newly independent
readers. In Coyote Sings to the Moon, Old Woman and the animals
sing to the moon each night. Coyote attempts to join them, but his
voice is so terrible they beg him to stop. He is crushed and lashes
out - who needs Moon anyway? Furious, Moon dives into a pond,
plunging the world into darkness. But clever Old Woman comes up
with a plan to send Moon back up into the sky and, thanks to
Coyote, there she stays. In Coyote's New Suit, mischievous Raven
wreaks havoc when she suggests that Coyote's toasty brown suit is
not the finest in the forest, thus prompting him to steal suits
belonging to all the other animals. Meanwhile, Raven tells the
other animals to borrow clothes from the humans' camp. When Coyote
finds that his closet is too full, Raven slyly suggests he hold a
yard sale, then sends the human beings (in their underwear) and the
animals (in their ill-fitting human clothes) along for the fun. A
hilarious illustration of the consequences of wanting more than we
need. Key Text Features table of contents illustrations Correlates
