Tycho Zeling is drifting through his life. Everything in it -
school, friends, girls, plans for the future - just kind of ...
happens. Like a movie he presses play on, but doesn't direct. So
Tycho decides to break away from everything. He flies to America to
spend his summer as a counselor at a summer camp, for international
kids. It is there that Oliver walks in, another counselor, from
Norway. And it is there that Tycho feels his life stop, and begin
again, finally, as his. The Days of Bluegrass Love was originally
published in the Netherlands in 1999. It was a groundbreaking book
and has since become a beloved classic throughout Europe, but has
never been translated into English. Here, for the first time, it is
masterfully presented to American readers - a tender, intense,
unforgettable story of first love.

Good parents everywhere know the tension of wanting our kids to be
curious, to have rich experiences and friends...but to be perfectly
safe while doing it. Little Fox knows all about it! His father (in
classic picture book fashion) warns him of the danger everywhere.
But Little Fox still frolics with butterflies, scavenges for food,
and searches for new friends. Then one day he takes a tumble, bumps
his head, and starts dreaming of things that reflect both the
beauty he's seen and the scary things he's heard. Marije Tolman's
ingenious illustrations use a fresh technique that FEELS like a
movie and a dream, starring the cheerful, bright orange Little Fox
on grainy mixed media landscapes of blue and green. And when Little
Fox wakes up, he's perhaps a little wiser, but still every bit as
curious and full of life.
