None of the panda books are ever about red pandas! Red wants to
change that. When Red discovers a new book about pandas, she can't
wait to read it! Except it's about only one kind of panda, and red
pandas are completely left out. Red never gets to read stories
about pandas like herself! So she decides to take matters into her
own paws and write her own book. But when Red looks around, it
seems like the only kind of pandas the world sees are the black and
white kind. Will anyone want to read about red pandas? It's up to
Red to finish her story and find out...
Based on a true story, a stray dog befriends an orphan boy in a
refugee camp on a Greek island. The fishermen on Lesvos call her
Kanella because of her cinnamon color. She's a scrawny, nervous
stray -- easily intimidated by the harbor cats and the other dogs
that compete for handouts on the pier. One spring day a dinghy
filled with weary, desperate strangers comes to shore. Other boats
follow, laden with refugees who are homeless and hungry. Kanella
knows what that is like, and she follows them as they are taken to
a makeshift refugee camp. There she comes to trust a bearded man,
an aid worker, and gradually settles into a contented routine.
Kanella grows healthy and confident. She has a job now -- to keep
watch over the people in her camp. One day, a little boy arrives
and does not leave like the others. He seems to have no family and,
like Kanella, he is taken in by the workers. He sleeps on a cot in
the food hut, and Kanella keeps him warm and calm. When two new
adults come to the camp. Kanella is ready to defend the boy from
them, until she is pulled away by the bearded man. They are the
boy's parents, and now he must go with them. Eventually, the camp
is dismantled, and Kanella finds herself homeless again. Until one
night, huddled in the cold, she awakens to see two bright lights
shining in her eyes -- the headlights of a car. The bearded man has
come back for her, and soon Kanella is on a journey, too, to a new
home of her own. Key Text Features maps illustrations author's note

the time playing games and reading. Before long, Daddy's home and

in the process.
Lili loves to cook baos, and Nai Nai has taught her all the secrets
to making them, from kneading the dough lovingly and firmly to
being thankful for the strong and healthy ingredients in the
filling. But when Nai Nai realises that they are out of cabbage
(Secret #8: line the basket with cabbage leaves!) she sends Lili up
to Babcia's apartment on the sixth floor to get some. Babcia is
happy to share her cabbage, but she needs some potatoes for her
pierogi... What follows is a race up and down the stairs as Lili
helps all the grandmothers in her building borrow ingredients for
different dumplings: Jamaican beef patties, Italian ravioli,
Lebanese fatayer and more. Energised by Melissa Iwai's engaging
artwork and kinetic storytelling, Dumplings for Lili is a joyful
story of sharing food, friendship and love in all their forms.

Just in time for Easter, a moving exploration of hope, from its
resilient roots to its sprouting—and surprising!—possibilities.
When Eva's hopes for a cheerful flower garden are dashed by a
rascally—and hungry! —rabbit, she sinks into despair. But it's
from this new vantage point that she discovers something surprising
and wonderful about her four-legged-nemesis that reminds Eva of her
own growing family and inspires her to try again. Told in sweet,
lyrical verse, and accompanied by the tenderest
illustrations, Hope is a Hop shares a powerful message and the
heart-tugging illustrations and bunny rabbit motif make it a
natural pick for Easter gifting.
It's the little things that matter in this whimsical romp in
Yosemite National Park. A bear and a chickaree help the youngest
visitors notice tiny natural treasures, like a wee Sierra Nevada
yellow-legged frog, a dainty alpine shooting star, a surprisingly
teensy giant sequoia cone, and more. Small children will appreciate
that everyone, even a bear, feels small in the big park. And at the
end of a busy day it’s best to leave only little footprints in
beautiful Yosemite.
