Beetle gives Stick Insect an attention-grabbing coat for his
birthday - but is that what Stick Insect really wants? A delightful
story about friends learning to understand each other. It's almost
Stick Insect's birthday, and his fashionable friend Beetle can't
wait to give him his present - a purple puffy coat! The coat draws
a lot of attention and makes Stick Insect really stick out in the
crowd. Beetle thinks that's terrific! He takes Stick Insect all
over town, happily boasting and bragging (while Stick Insect waits
behind a tree, in a pile of leaves, or under a bench). Oh, dear -
maybe Stick Insect isn't as happy about the purple puffy coat as
Beetle is! What can Beetle do to make Stick Insect feel more
comfortable? Charming illustrations bring to life both characters'
endearing struggles in this warm and humorous story about
friendship and understanding each other.

"In this witty, wise picture book, Boelts presents a kid's-eye view
of a
consumer fad that rages through school at gale force." -- Bulletin
of the Center for Children's Books (starred review)
All Jeremy wants is a pair of those shoes, the ones everyone at
school seems to be wearing. Though Jeremy's grandma says they don't
have room for "want," just "need," when his old shoes fall apart at
school, he is more determined than ever to have those shoes, even a
thrift-shop pair that are much too small. But sore feet aren't much
fun, and Jeremy soon sees that the things he has -- warm boots, a
loving grandma, and the chance to help a friend -- are worth more
than the things he wants.
A story of a girl who is afraid of bees - but ready to meet the
hive! Kaia is the brave type. Like hottest-hot-pepper brave. But
there is one thing that scares her - BEES! And right now, thousands
of bees live on her roof because Kaia's dad is a beekeeper. Her dad
says that the world needs bees and that's why they are beekeepers.
But only he goes on the roof, not Kaia - unless she can find a way
to be the brave girl she always says she is... Against a sunny city
setting, author Maribeth Boelts and illustrator Angela Dominguez
depict Kaia's small courageous steps - and her tiny insect
neighbours - with huge empathy and charm. Buzzing to be read at
story time, Kaia and the Bees is an honest and relatable tale about
bravery and compassion, as well as the importance of bees to our
world.

A warmhearted story about a young girl who finds a way to bring
together the two things that make her most happy- soccer and her
family.
Nothing makes Sierra happy like soccer. Her shoes have flames as
she spins the ball down the spread-out sea of grass. But nothing
makes her sad like soccer, too, because the restaurant where her
auntie works is busy on game days and she can't take time off to
watch Sierra play. On game days, her auntie helps Sierra get ready
and tells her, "Play hard and have fun." And Sierra does, but she
can't help wishing she had someone there to root for her by name,
and not just by the number on her uniform. With honesty and rare
subtlety, author Maribeth Boelts and illustrator Lauren Castillo
portray an endearing character in a moving, uplifting story that
touches on the divides children navigate every day- and remind us
that everyone needs someone to cheer them on from the sidelines.
