By moonlight in the quiet forest, a young boy and his family
decorate their favorite tree with popcorn, apples, tangerines, and
sunflower-seed balls as a gift for the animals of the woods. "Sure
to become a Christmas favorite, this beautifully illustrated story
of a family's unusual tradition brings to life the true spirit of
Christmas."--"American Bookseller"
In this poignant story, the counting rope is a metaphor for the
passage of time and for a boy's emerging confidence facing his
greatest challenge: blindness. While classified as an Indian story,
the love, hope, and courage expressed are universal.--Booklist,
starred review. Full color.
Longfellow's tribute to the famous revolutionary hero begins with the stirring cadence that American schoolchildren have committed to memory for over a century. Now illustrator Ted Rand brings these vivid and beautiful lines to life as dramatically as the poet's immortal message inspires. "The clatter of hooves seems to echo in Rand's evocative paintings of that famed midnight ride...." --Kirkus reviews
Ideally suited to the board-book format, Here Are My Hands invites very young children to respond spontaneously and creatively as they learn the parts of the body. The rhyming text and bold illustrations do more than name the eyes, ears, nose, and toes. By featuring children of many different backgrounds, the book quietly celebrates the commonality of people around the world.
Each button on Laura's memory string represents a piece of her
family history. The buttons Laura cherishes the most belonged to
her mother - a button from her prom dress, a white one off her
wedding dress, and a single small button from the nightgown she was
wearing on the day she died. When the string breaks, Laura's new
stepmother, Jane, is there to comfort Laura and search for a
missing button, just as Laura's mother would have done. But it's
not the same - Jane isn't Mom. In Eve Bunting's moving story,
beautifully illustrated by Ted Rand, Laura discovers that a memory
string is not just for remembering the past: it's also for
recording new memories.
A fictionalized retelling of the true story of three-year-old Sarah

and was protected by a bear until her rescue four days later.
In this poignant story, the counting rope is a metaphor for the passage of time and for a boy’s emerging confidence in facing his blindness.

In an old farmhouse, bathed in the light of a full moon, a young
boy creeps to his bedroom window and looks outside. Was that a
voice he just heard, or the hooting of an owl? There it is again:
Come a little closer...Come a little closer...Listen to the
night...There's music in the air...Beckoned by the voice, the boy
sneaks downstairs, out the door, and walks toward the barn. As he
gets closer he hears the sweet sound of a country fiddler and the
rhythmic thumping of dancing feet. But who could possibly be having
a barn dance in the middle of the night?
