Need a Halloween costume idea? Eenie Meenie has plenty! In this
rhythmic read-aloud picture book, a little girl wonders what she
should be for Halloween. Good thing she has a dress-up trunk full
of different costume ideas! Eenie meenie Halloweenie, kitty, bat,
or snake? Perhaps a bear? I might just wear a costume that I make!
It's Halloween eve, and a little girl has a dress-up trunk full of
different costume ideas! Orange tights and Daddy's tux can
transform her into a penguin-or she could be an elephant, with
pillowcases for her ears and a sock for her nose! What costume will
she choose? Eenie Meenie Halloweenie is a celebration of the
ingenuity of an adorable girl creating fun costumes from everyday
materials. Readers will be inspired to do the same! This jacketed
hardcover picture book is perfect for the not-so-spooky storytime.
"'Eenie meenie Halloweenie'-so many choices. That's what the kid in
this bouncy rhyming charmer faces. These rhymed musings about what
to be on Halloween will give readers/listeners dress-up ideas that
they may never have considered-and present simple, inexpensive
homemade ways to achieve those ends with items easily found around
the house." (Kirkus starred review) "In springy rhymed verse, Eaddy
captures her heroine's inventive vision as she explores costume
options while her inanimate menagerie patiently looks on. She gives
multiple options a whirl, sourcing domestic props: 'Or what about
an elephant?/ I could be one of those.// With pillowcases for my
ears,/ a sock could be my nose.' Rendered digitally, pictures by
Fleming give the wide-eyed, ginger-haired protagonist ample
personality and energy, and imbue her toy animals with a winsome
homespun quality." (Publishers Weekly)
A heartwarming and encouraging story told through beautiful 3D clay
art illustrations. One of the wisemen, Melchior, has the same dream
night after night in which he is urged to follow a newly risen
star. Worried about the perils he might encounter but certain he
must make the trip, he embarks on the journey with his nonchalant
and wise camel, Nubia. What follows is a rich and engaging tale
full of interesting meetings along the path, that ultimately help
him gain confidence in himself. In these days when we all live with
some sense of worry and anxiety, the book offers to children-and
parents-a way to think about how we make the journey through life
together and how we find calm and hope even when things feel
uncertain.

The magical story of how a boy with a disability who is bullied
finds the hero within. As Drake gets ready for bed, his mother
entertains his questions about tyrants, pirates, and dragons-which
are really questions about the power of bullies. Their conversation
reminds us all that "Not even kings are allowed to be mean."
Targeted for young children and their caregivers, Sir Drake the
Brave is a declaration of ethics, integrity and faith: that
kindness and courage ultimately are stronger than any sort of
small-minded bullying or hate. Fun and entertaining, the story
teaches lessons of accepting others, and welcoming others,
including those who are different.
After she suspects her of a secret rendezvous with her husband,
Sunshine devises a way to destroy Celia, the house servant, in more
ways than one. She attempts an even more horrendous act: to kill
Celia's only daughter, Shantae. It is Shantae however, who has
plans of her own to demolish the forces of evil that burn in the
souls of Capn and Sunshine and recaptures a forbidden love that may
change the world forever. She is tortured, ridiculed and chased
through a bottomless pit of darkness until, alas, she finds a light
that leads her on another whirlwind of ignited action and
adventure. Only a strand of hope pulsates through as she runs in
the middle of the night through deepening murky waters, twisted
vines and fallen trees to reach a fate she knows little about.
