In this fantastical story, a flock of feathery friends show up for
a feast! Lunch turns into bird food when a little girl starts
feeding birds at the bus stop. First, a pigeon she names Serious
comes pecking, and then Fancy and Sleepy gather to gobble up the
offerings. But what happens when more and more birds want to join
in on the feast? And what are all these fantastical birds doing in
the city, anyway? This delightfully outlandish story by Sara
Cassidy, beautifully illustrated by Geraldo Valério, creator of My
Book of Birds and Busy, Busy Birds, explores a child’s wonder, a
parent’s preoccupation and an ordinary afternoon that escalates
into a surreal adventure. Key Text Features illustrations

From Sara Cassidy, acclaimed author of A Boy Named Queen, comes a
stunning wordless graphic novel about friendship, loss and hope.
For as long as Saanvi can remember, she has been friends with her
elderly neighbor Helen. They play cards and garden together and,
especially, care for the wild birds that visit Helen's yard. When
Helen dies suddenly, a "For Sale" sign goes up, and movers arrive,
emptying the house of its furniture and stripping the yard of its
birdfeeders. The sparrows and hummingbirds disappear. Soon a
bulldozer tears down Helen's house. All winter, Saanvi walks numbly
past the property as developers begin to build condos. Then one
spring day, amid the dust and turmoil of construction, she finds a
weathered playing card wedged between two rocks. She holds it to
her chest, and finally sobs. After a tearful night, Saanvi wakes
inspired. She slathers peanut butter on pinecones to hang from tree
branches, hammers together a birdhouse from scrap wood and drags a
kitchen stool outside to hold a bowl of water. Finally, she
retrieves a nest that has been unraveling on Helen's old property
and places it in a tree in her own yard. Saanvi's yard soon fills
with Helen's birds. They have a home again. This beautifully
illustrated, wordless graphic novel shows Saanvi's journey through
close friendship, then hollowing loss and change, until she finally
finds hope. Correlates to the Common Core State Standards in

Who will be brave enough to make friends with the boy named Queen?
Sara Cassidy's acclaimed novel, A Boy Named Queen, is now available
in paperback! Evelyn is both aghast and fascinated when a new boy
comes to grade five and tells everyone his name is Queen. Queen
wears shiny gym shorts and wants to organize a chess/environment
club. His father plays weird loud music and has tattoos. How will
the class react? How will Evelyn? Evelyn is an only child with a
strict routine and an even stricter mother. And yet in her quiet
way she notices things. She notices the way bullies don't seem to
faze Queen. The way he seems to live by his own rules. When it
turns out that they take the same route home from school, Evelyn
and Queen become friends, even if she finds Queen irritating at
times. Why doesn't he just shut up and stop attracting so much
attention to himself. Yet Queen is the most interesting person she
has ever met. So when she receives a last-minute invitation to his
birthday party, she knows she must somehow persuade her mother to
let her go, even if Queen's world upends everything her mother
considers appropriate. Correlates to the Common Core State
