A 2020 Caldecott Honor Book From the New York Times best-selling
author behind The Quiet Book comes a mindful contemplation on the
many ways nature affects our everyday lives, even when we're stuck
inside. Five starred reviews! Perfect for fans of Joyce Sidman and
Julie Fogliano, Outside In reminds emerging readers of the ways
nature creates and touches our lives in homes, apartments, and
cars, and is the perfect homeschooling tool to reflect on the
world's connectedness. Outside is waiting, the most patient
playmate of all. The most generous friend. The most miraculous
inventor. This thought-provoking picture book poetically
underscores our powerful and enduring connection with nature, not
so easily obscured by lives spent indoors. Rhythmic, powerful
language shows us how our world is made and the many ways Outside
comes in to help and heal us, and reminds us that we are all part
of a much greater universe. Emotive illustrations evoke the beauty,
simplicity, and wonder that await us all . . . outside.

A lyrical, beautifully illustrated poem about a baby's birth. In
this lyrical poem, author John Sobol brings us his imagined vision
of a universal experience, that of being born. As she is born, the
baby in this story goes through a time of intense movement and
change before she takes her first breath and cries. Warm hands wrap
her in a blanket, and she is held in loving arms. She has arrived!
Sobol captures the mystery and wonder of the birth experience in
this deeply sympathetic tale. Reading this book together will
enable children and their parents to celebrate the joy and
emotional power of that remarkable moment. Cindy Derby's soft,
gentle illustrations beautifully complement the poem. Correlates to
the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts:

This profoundly moving tale about a grieving boy and an imaginary gorilla makes real the power of talking about loss.
On the day of his mother’s funeral, a young boy conjures the very visitor he needs to see – a gorilla. Wise and gentle, the gorilla stays on to answer the heart-heavy questions the boy hesitates to ask his father: Where did his mother go? Will she come back home? Will we all die? Yet with the gorilla’s friendship, the boy slowly begins to discover moments of comfort in tending flowers, playing catch and climbing trees. Most of all, the gorilla knows that it helps to simply talk about the loss – especially with those who share your grief and who may feel alone too. Author Jackie Azúa Kramer’s quietly thoughtful text and illustrator Cindy Derby’s beautiful impressionistic artwork depict how this tender relationship leads the boy to open up to his father and find a path forward. Told entirely in dialogue, this direct and deeply affecting picture book will inspire conversations about grief, empathy, and healing beyond the final hope-filled scene.
Joyful and utterly unique, this vibrant picture book celebrates the
best birthday gift of all: a whole day that is yours to unwrap.
What makes birthdays special? Whether you are turning three or one
hundred and three, whether you are feted by others or sing yourself
happy, the anticipation and surprise of the day you were born never
fail to deliver "that shivery feeling that belongs only to a
birthday." An ideal gift for new and expectant parents, for
children marking a birthday or attending their first party - for
everyone who was ever born! This exuberant celebration in words and
pictures will leave you feeling a warm connection to the cycle of
life and growth.
