What a perfect autumn day! Papa Bear tells his cubs to bundle up in
the cozy sweaters he knitted for them-but that is easier said than
done. Award-winning author-artist Matt Phelan has created a
hilarious and warmhearted ode to fall, patience, and knitting.
Sweater Weather will be adored by fans of Anna Dewdney and Tad
Hills. Sweaters on? Not yet! The air is crisp, and the leaves are
bright-it's the perfect autumn day to enjoy the outdoors. Papa Bear
instructs his cubs to put on their sweaters, and patiently waits
downstairs. When he checks on them, he learns that getting ready is
no simple task. But even if this lovable bear family misses out on
their planned outing, the evening sky still holds a beautiful
surprise. Acclaimed author-artist Matt Phelan's rhythmic,
repetitive text and his warm, expressive watercolor paintings are
both humorous and rewarding. Brimming with laughter and love from
this large bear family, Sweater Weather is an irresistible choice
to curl up with during storytime, no matter what the weather is.
Things are fairly normal in Hard Pan, population forty-three. But
to Lucky, fairly normal means fairly boring, and she's restless.
Just in the nick of time, she meets a potential new best friend
named Paloma, who happens to be visiting Hard Pan with her uncle, a
geologist. And before she knows it, Lucky gets stuck in a well,
meets up with a wild burro, discards something she didn't know was
precious, does something unexpectedly cruel, and learns a couple of
the secrets of the universe.
After receiving letters from fans asking for writing advice, the
authors joined together to create this guidebook for young writers.
The authors mix personal anecdotes with practical guidance on who
to find a voice, develop characters and plot, make revisions, and
overcome writer's block. Includes writing prompts. Illustrations.
Lucky, age ten, can't wait another day. The meanness gland in her
heart and the crevices full of questions in her brain make running
away from Hard Pan, California (population 43), the rock-bottom
only choice she has.
It's all Brigitte's fault -- for wanting to go back to France.
Guardians are supposed to stay put and look after girls in their
care! Instead Lucky is sure that she'll be abandoned to some
orphanage in Los Angeles where her beloved dog, HMS Beagle, won't
be allowed. She'll have to lose her friends Miles, who lives on
cookies, and Lincoln, future U.S. president (maybe) and member of
the International Guild of Knot Tyers. Just as bad, she'll have to
give up eavesdropping on twelve-step anonymous programs where the
interesting talk is all about Higher Powers. Lucky needs her own --
and quick.
But she hadn't planned on a dust storm.
Or needing to lug the world's heaviest survival-kit backpack
into the desert.
