In the tradition of fun cumulative stories like The Old Lady Who
Swallowed a Fly and If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, this joyful story
shows how helping someone in need can sometimes fulfill needs of
our own. When Spider meets Shrew, they are both down on their luck.
Spider's web has blown away, and Shrew's home has just been paved
over. What happens when they decide to help each other out? They
meet Bat, who is lonely for friends. Then they meet Possum, who
can't find his mom; Dog, who misses her puppies; and Pony, who is
out of a job. Everyone has problems, but this quirky new community
is ready to lend a hand in creative and surprising ways. This is a
joyful story about an unlikely group of friends finding compassion
and community in each other. Deborah Kerbel's humorous, quippy
dialogue is perfectly paired with Genevieve Cote's endearing
illustrations of the animal characters. Key Text Features

Sunny rain sparkling showers Water for our trees and flowers For
preschoolers, rainy weather is full of possibility. A puddle in the
back yard is just waiting for a stomp in rubber rain boots. A light
drizzle is perfect for a search-and-rescue mission for worms and
snails. And watching a heavy rainfall makes sitting inside with a
warm bowl of soup all the cozier. In Rainy Days, author Deborah
Kerbel once again captures the magic of early childhood awe and
wonder with rhyming couplets that celebrate every kind of rainy-day
activity. Illustrator Miki Sato’s unique tactile collage art
nearly rises from the page with fascinating features made from
paper, felt, and embroidery silk. A final page includes enriching
STEM activities inquisitive little ones. Rainy Days is the fourth
book in the Weather Days collection that includes the
critically-acclaimed titles Snow Days, Sunny Days, and Windy Days.
“I cannot resist a clever bit of paper cutting, no matter how
hard I want to… Layered paper illustrations by Sato expertly
provide the color you need in a book with such gray
skies.”—School Library Journal, Fuse 8 “Starting with the
rain and how that can sadden kids, to finding the joy in things
that kids can still (or only) do in the rain. Taking something that
might make them sad and giving them ideas to have fun is always a
good lesson for all of us, kids and parents. The illustrations are
neat and clear, with details that enhance without distracting the
reader.”—Youth Services Book Review

critically-acclaimed celebration of summertime fun is now back in a
new board book format! For preschoolers, sunny days are full of
possibility. A sunbeam on the floor is the perfect place to curl up

stretch out long, and there's nothing so cozy as watching the sun
set as a family. In Sunny Days, author Deborah Kerbel once again
weaves a spell of early childhood magic with couplets as bright as
a summer afternoon. Illustrator Miki Sato's textural collage art
nearly rises from the page with fascinating features made from
paper, felt, and embroidery silk. "These charming couplets about
fun in the sun will have their appeal to lap sitters.... With its

yet simple look at sunshine will suit all collections that serve
toddlers."-School Library Journal **Starred Review**

preschoolers, windy fall days mean excitement and play. Strong

taut. But fiercer winds begin to sting the cheeks as they bring
about a new season... In Windy Days, author Deborah Kerbel once
again captures the magic of early childhood awe and wonder with
rhyming couplets as light as a breath of fresh air. Illustrator

From Suzanne Del Rizzo, award-winning illustrator of My Beautiful
Birds, and author Deborah Kerbel comes a unique story about a brave
sled dog puppy's adventures under the Arctic Circle's midnight sun.
Juno and her boy live in a red house at the top of the world. One
day Juno will be big and strong enough to help pull a sled across
the tundra, but for now she is just a small puppy with a big-dog
heart. Small puppies have to go to bed when their boys do, but Juno
can’t sleep with the midnight sun shining out across the town.
She slips outside to play. Returning to see a hungry polar bear
sniffing around the open door, Juno has no time to be afraid.
It’s time to summon the big dog inside her and save her beloved
boy. With Deborah Kerbel’s warm, expressive text, Sun Dog is a
love letter to life in the Arctic Circle from the perspective of a
sled dog pup. Suzanne Del Rizzo’s dimensional art in polymer clay
and acrylic wash offers both an intimate romp with a young puppy
and a sweeping celebration of the vast and beautiful tundra.

Opposite Identicals is an upper middle grade novel set in the very
near future -- a time when climate change has irreversibly altered
our planet and lifestyles. Nova and Joule are fourteen-year-old
twins whose scientist parents have recently uprooted the family
from their urban home and moved to the country on a year-long
research assignment, studying the effects of GMO "SuperCrop"
farming on the environment in the final regulatory phase before
global expansion. Surrounded by nature and quiet, open spaces, shy,
bookish Nova is in heaven. But Joule -- whose life's ambition is to
be famous and reach a million Hollagram followers -- is desperate
to escape. One day, Joule gets her wish, although not in a way
anyone ever expected. In an instant, she's gone -- swallowed up by
a mysterious sinkhole under her bedroom floor. Suddenly twinless,
Nova is forced to step in and lead the search for her missing
sister. But can she face her fears and figure out what caused the
sinkhole in time to save Joule? Told from alternating points of
view, it's a fantastical adventure about overcoming obstacles,
self-discovery, and environmental awareness.

totally opposite worlds. Tabby is rich, pretty, and the most
popular girl in her class. But behind closed doors, her perfect
life is rapidly coming apart at the seams. On the other side, Lora
is smart, timid, and the constant target of bullies. While
struggling to survive the piranha-infested halls of her school, she
becomes increasingly nervous that somebody might discover the
unbearable truth about whats been happening to her family. Despite
their differences, Tabby and Lora have something in common theyre
both harbouring dark secrets and a lot of pain. Although theyve
never been friends, a series of strange events causes their lives
to crash together in ways neither could have ever imagined. And
when the dust finally settles and all their secrets are forced out
into the light, will the girls be saved or destroyed?

our hearts, a star in our eyes." Told from the perspective of new
parents welcoming their baby to the world, this touching love
letter to young children by Governor General's Literary

all of the promise held by new life. As the seasons change from
fall through winter and into spring, the expectant parents'
anticipation over the baby's arrival is mirrored in the animals
around the family's seaside home, marrying the natural world to the
family's experience. Suzanne Del Rizzo, author-illustrator of My
Beautiful Birds - a New York Times Notable Children's Books
selection and winner of the 2018 SCBWI Crystal Kite Award - adds an
intricately tactile element with her lush illustrations rendered in
polymer clay and acrylic wash, depicting the animals in scenes at
times playful and other times serene.
