Though separated by language, age, and an ocean, a child and
grandparent find common ground in this warm, witty picture book
Grandpa lives on the other side of the ocean. He takes naps all the
time. He eats different foods. He speaks an unfamiliar language.
His house is the most boring place on Earth! Or is it? A little
time together just might reveal that Grandpa is also a great
singer, an energetic sandcastle builder, and a troublemaker . . .
just like his grandson! With her signature warmth and humor,
award-winning author-illustrator Hyewon Yum shares the challenges
and joys of having a relative who lives far away-proving that even
from across the ocean, the grandparent-grandchild relationship is a
very special one.

Told in a series of dramatic odes to her day's annoyances,
Alexander (of the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day ) has
got NOTHING on this girl whose day just gets worse and worse! Oh
Too Much Milk in My Cereal! Soggy, squishy! Boggy, mushy! You
turned my crispy into gushy! Sometimes the little bumps in our days
can feel much bigger than they are. And when they start multiplying
. . . oh, what a bad day it can become! Told in a series of
dramatic odes to a day's annoyances, Ode to a Bad Day lets children
and caregivers alike find the humor and compassion in the days that
could have gone better-and encourages readers to look forward to a
better day . . . tomorrow. TIMELESS TOPIC: Classic in sensibility
but with fresh, sharp wit, this book touches on a truly universal
topic with an authentic voice young readers will recognize and
identify with. The struggles of the main character immediately
capture the drama of childhood without making the world seem
totally hopeless and antagonistic. READ ALOUD: This picture book is
riddled with rhyme and chock-full of humor in every stanza-perfect
for read-aloud occasions, bedtime, or any moment a kid needs
cheering up on a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.
SELF-RELIANCE: In celebrating frustration, tedium, and boredom,
this book also emphasizes the value of remaining positive facing
life's various difficulties. You can be upset and still be a
regular person; you can have a bad day and still rhyme about it.
BACK-TO-SCHOOL REASSURANCE: Perfect for kids who are nervous about
starting school or struggling with any less-than-ideal moments in
life. EDUCATIONAL INFO INCLUDED: After reading through the fun,
rhyming narrative, kids can read on to learn more about what an ode
is, how to make one, and even have the opportunity to create their
own. Perfect for: • Great read-aloud option for parents,
teachers, and librarians looking for funny kids' books •
Starting-school or back-to-school book for young readers •
Reassuring book for kids who experience anxiety or struggle to get
through bad days • Fans of humor, children's poetry, and books
that celebrate big feelings • Readers of popular children's books

A sad sack frog, who bemoans his inability to sing like a bird, discovers the vital role he's meant to play in his woodland home in this debut picture book from Mk Smith Despres, gorgeously illustrated by award-winning artist Hyewon Yum.
Every morning as the sun rises, Bernardo the frog loves greeting the day by listening to the beautiful birdsong that fills the woods with joy. Inspired, Bernardo attempts to sing, too... but his croaking voice doesn't quite have the same effect. No matter what he does, Bernardo feels graceless and like he just doesn't add up. Dejected and down in the dumps, Bernardo sees no place for himself, until a woodland neighbor praises the hushed sounds that dusk brings, thus awakening Bernardo to his place in the woods' great symphony.
One of School Library Journal's Best Picture Books of 2011 New in
paperback, this beloved picture book from Hyewon Yum, The Twins'
Blanket, is about siblings, sharing, and growing up--starring a
Korean-American family--and is now celebrating its 10th
Anniversary! These look-alike twins have always shared
everything--their room, their toys, a crib, and, since the day they
were born, a blanket. But as they grow into new beds, they need new
blankets, too. Now they face a new dilemma: they don't know how not
to share. Told from the perspective of two five-year-olds, The
Twins' Blanket playfully illuminates squabbles and affection
between young siblings. Yum's minimalistic art astutely captures
these twins' emotions as they toss, turn, and tug their new and old
blankets--and embrace their growing independence.
A New York Times Best Children's Book of 2021 Is there any creature
in the world happier than a dog with a ball in its mouth? Maybe a
cat in the sun? Or a kid eating ice cream? This gentle book, with
its soft and evocative colored pencil illustrations, is
philosophical in its approach to the millions of forms that
happiness can take, as well as the contrasting disappointments and
sorrows that we encounter as we navigate our lives. Starting from
the happiness of waking up into a brand-new day, the book goes on
to explore the kinds of relationships and contrasts that play out
between our feelings and experiences. These contrasts play out
beautifully across the page from left to right, and across a couple
of long gatefold pages. Whether it's the nervousness of a beginning
paired with the happiness of a middle; the indignity of a cut
against the happiness of a scab; the boredom of nothing to do
contrasted with the happiness of nothing to do; or the divide of
mine against the happiness of our, these pages challenge the reader
to think about daily activities and experiences and the feelings
they conjure. They also lead us to think about the substance of our
happiness, and what the ingredients of it might be. Written with
subtlety and nuance and illustrated in pencil, pen and watercolor
with great tenderness, The Happiness of a Dog with a Ball in its
Mouth is a gentle, fun, and philosophical read, with which one can
start and end the day.
On her daily bike ride with her dad, a bird-loving little girl passes a woman who frightens her – until she discovers what they have in common.
I am a bird. Ca-Caw! Ca-Caw!
Every day, a little girl rides to school on the back of Daddy’s bike. As they twist and turn through the city streets, the little girl spreads her arms like wings and sings her birdsong for all to hear. But when they pass the strange woman in blue who carries a mysterious bag, the girl goes quiet until the woman is out of sight. One day, when they’re running late, the little girl discovers what the woman does with her bag each morning – a surprise that transforms her wariness into a feeling of kinship to be celebrated. Hope Lim’s simple text and Hyewon Yum’s delicate, expressive illustrations create a touching story that encourages readers to embrace our similarities rather than our differences.
It's a child's first day of kindergarten, but who is worried about
all the new people and the different things he'll meet--the child?
No The mother. In a refreshing reversal of roles, the child takes
it upon himself to comfort and reassure his mother that everything
will be fine, she'll get used to him going to big-kid school, and
yes, he is ready for the first day of kindergarten. Utterly
charming in its simplicity, Yum playfully uses size and color to
reveal emotions of this milestone beginning. "Mom, It's My First
Day of Kindergarten "is a "Kirkus Reviews "Best Children's Book of
2012
