When Bloom is thrown from their world and Gloopy is exiled from
their home, each finds in the other a much-needed kindred spirit.
But as they skip through dimensions among great weeping giants,
enormous alligator islands and topsy-turvy 2D worlds, they find
that their greatest challenges are in facing their own truths and
fears which they have both been anxious to avoid...
I wonder, then, what freedom is. Is it a place? Is it a thought?
Can it be stolen? Can it be bought? As powerful as it is beautiful,
Freedom, We Sing is a lyrical picture book designed to inspire and
give hope to readers around the world. Molly Mendoza's immersive,
lush illustrations invite kids into the text, to ask themselves
what it means to be free, while lyrical and emotive text is
provided by musician Amyra Leon.
This tribute to the unsung heroes of firefighting takes readers
along on a high-stakes mission to battle one of the deadliest
natural disasters. A lone figure stands on a tower, watching and
waiting. Lightning strikes. Tree bark sparks. A wisp of white smoke
rises in the distance. It is time to act. Frightening images of
raging wildfires top the daily news. On the ground, smoke fills the
air as people prepare to flee their homes ahead of encroaching
flames. Who helps to get this crisis under control? And what do
these heroes do? They hold the line. They Hold the Line delivers a
dramatic inside look at the work of the highly trained first
responders who risk their lives to fight wildfires. From hotshot
handcrews to those who support them, wildland firefighters serve as
stewards of the land, managing the health of our forests and the
safety of our communities. Powerfully written by Dan Paley, and
brought vividly to life by Molly Mendoza, this compelling and
informative narrative explores wildland firefighters' complex,
high-stakes mission in-depth.
