In this effervescent companion to the picture book Stella Keeps the
Sun Up, Stella goes on the hunt to figure out who's behind her
friend's missing tooth. Stella, her bestie Roger, and her
second-best friend Owen are excited to go see Sue the T-rex at the
museum, but when Owen has to leave early because he lost a tooth,
Stella becomes determined to find it for him. How did he manage to
lose a tooth? Was it stolen? Could the tooth fairy be responsible?
Could Owen be...a dinosaur boy? Nothing will keep Stella from her
investigation, even if she and Roger fear their own teeth could be
stolen too. But the more Stella investigates, the more she realizes
that perhaps this case is not as complicated as she thought.
This illustrated introduction to African American history goes

African Americans to the arts, music, literature, culture, sports
and more. Lives of inspiring African American artists, inventors,
and politicians including Harriet Tubman, Langston Hughes, Oprah

Introduction books, which include The Story of the Orchestra and A
Child's Introduction to the Night Sky, A Child's Introduction to
African American History includes 120 charming illustrations that
bring the people and events to life. The book also features

guardians including recipes and crafts.
In this incandescently fun, hijinks-filled picture book, a young
girl schemes to keep the sun up in the sky so she never has to go
to bed. If Stella had her way, she would stop sleeping on her sixth
birthday. Because sleep is boring. And there are so many better
things you could be doing. And Stella is tired of being tired. So
she comes up with a plan. People only have to go to bed when it
gets dark, and it only gets dark because the sun goes down. If she
can keep the sun in the sky, she and her best friend, Roger, can
stay up for a hundred years! They enact their magnificent,
wonderful, genius plan, offering the sun a cup of coffee, shining a
light at it so it will shine back, and jumping on a trampoline to
reach the sun and push it higher. But before long, Stella begins to
wonder...are there downsides to keeping the sun up forever?
