Join a very special boy on a stargazing adventure in this
heartwarming picture book that’s sure to spark your child’s
imagination. Andrew Moore is not like other children. He doesn’t
talk or run or jump. But he loves to smile and laugh—and go on
the most wonderful outings! When he soars into the night sky to
meet the constellations, his new friend Andromeda is taken by a sea
monster. Andrew must team up with Pegasus, the flying horse, to
help Andromeda. The boy isn’t as fast as Pisces, as powerful as
Aries, or as brave as Perseus. How will he save the princess and
bring happiness back to the kingdom? Up Where the Stars Are is an
uplifting story by award-winning author Ryan Jacobson and
award-winning illustrator Michelle Hazelwood Hyde. It showcases the
positive power of imagination and celebrates the unique gifts that
every child possesses. It also introduces children to nine
constellations, complete with instructions for finding them in the
night sky. This picture book was created with the assistance and
support of the Angelman Syndrome Foundation. A portion of the
proceeds from the sale of Up Where the Stars Are benefits the

Fetch, Cat. Fetch! is an endearing message of patience and love
mixed with a big dose of humour. A winning combination when dealing
with pets and people! Author Charles Ghigna -- Father Goose (R) --
masterfully encourages young children to build reading
comprehension skills and to gain confidence in this comical look at
a special bond between a girl and her beloved cat. Through simple
language and short sentences, he captures the laughter and joy of
watching a sweet, patient child trying to teach her cat to do
tricks. The illustrations, on the other hand, depict the lovable,
stubborn, lazy pet cat who just wants to nap all day, refusing her
attempts to play fetch, or to sit, shake, roll over, or do any
other tricks that a dog would do. Subtle humour, sight words, and
lots of repetition make this a unique and fun first independent
reading book, and just when the reader thinks the cat will finally
get his nap, a clever twist of irony will have children laughing
hysterically. The girl finally gives up and asks the cat to stay,
and that's when he finally gets up -- and runs away!
(Grades K and Up) After the Ant Hill School is destroyed, a little
boy ant is afraid to go back to school. His mom caringly explains
to him that sometimes things happen in life over which we have no
control, but we have to find a way to keep living and growing. To
do that,
"We breathe in and breathe out, and hold onto each other. We
shed a lot of tears, and we love one another. We all come together
as a strong team of ONE, and then we rebuild, and get things done
"
The Ant Hill Disaster thoughtfully addresses fears associated
with both natural and man-caused disasters. It models effective
parenting and teaching responses. This book can help assure
children that through love, empathetic understanding, preparation,
and effective communication, they can stand strong, even in the
midst of uncontrollable events.
