Make-believe + melodrama = comedy as one dramatic little girl
learns the new skill of finding a friend Leah is looking for a
friend to play fairies. But when her invitation fails to sway her
classmates, Leah is left all…ALONE. Poor Lonely Leah! Will she
always be the only one standing alone in line? The only one reading
fairy tales in the book corner? The AGONY of her SUFFERING is so
overpowering that she almost misses the quiet voice trying to get
her attention… From the creators of Percy’s Perfect Friend
comes an entertaining new journey into social-emotional growth.
Author Lana Button is an early childhood educator who has seen
firsthand the struggles many kids experience learning to navigate
social situations and conflict—especially if pandemic lockdowns
were part of their early lives. In Leah the Only Lonely Fairy, she
tells a relatable story of someone trying to make friends and
missing the mark, while Peggy Collins brings lively humor to the
illustrations, letting readers know what Leah doesn’t yet: that
she isn’t alone after all.Â
When Percy finds himself in a kindergarten classroom full of
unfamiliar children, he can’t help but feel uncomfortable and
alone—that is, until he meets a cuddly new friend: a plush cat he
names Miss Petticomb. When Percy’s new friend is picked up by
other children, Percy cautiously sets out to find her. On his
journey to retrieve Miss Petticomb, Percy must decide whether it is
better to share his friend with his classmates or keep her all to
himself. A plush cat, a tea party, and the uniting power of toys
may be the secret to saving Miss Petticomb and bringing Percy out
of his shell. In Percy’s Perfect Friend, early childhood educator
Lana Button celebrates the importance of toys in play, the power
they have to help children practice social skills, language skills,
and imagination, and their ability to bring children together. ALA
Schneider Honor Book Winner Peggy Collins captures Percy’s growth
from uncertainty to confidence on his quest to save Miss Petticomb.
He may just be surprised at the new friends he makes along the way.

An exciting picture book inspired by a real-life classroom service
dog with themes of friendship, neurodivergence, and courage Harley
the service dog is on the job! He goes to school every day with Ms.
Prichard to make sure she feels safe. Their students are a lot of
fun, but Harley can't play with them while he's wearing his work
vest. They write him lots of letters instead, and everything is
perfect in the best, most quiet class in the whole school. Until
the day the old stage curtains catch fire. As the fire alarm blares
and chaos erupts, Harley remembers that Ms. Prichard isn't the only
human in his class who gets upset by loud noises. Inspired by a
true story, Harley the Hero celebrates the work of service animals
and the normalization of neurodivergence. Author-illustrator Peggy
Collins brings Harley and his class to charming life and concludes
with an Author's Note about the real dog behind the fictional
Harley.

massive fun
Daniel is preparing a special gift for his new baby sister, but
will it be ready by the time they go to the adoption centre? To
show baby Angela how much she is loved by her new family, Daniel
wants to whistle for her like the songbirds he loves so much. But
will she smile for him? When they arrive at the adoption center and
Daniel still hasn't got the knack of whistling, it's Jessie,
Angela's birthmother, who knows just what to do. Whistling for
Angela celebrates the familial bonds formed through the act of
adoption. Illustrator Peggy Collins' heartwarming close-ups of the
families' loving interactions create an intimate atmosphere
throughout all the emotions of the day. In her author's note Robin
Heald shares the inspiration for the story, which came directly
from her own experiences with adoption. She also explores the
increasingly common practice of building connections between all
three sides of the adoption triangle: the child, the birth family,
and the adoptive family.
