ocean and back again. Folding out to nearly 2.5 metres, children

and a conversation starter for parents and young children. The

In this sweet and affirming picture book, two cats discover they
don't need to share a language to become friends. Leonard adores
his human. "Stay! Let's play!" he says when it's time to leave for
work. His human just hears "Meow." Sometimes Leonard gets lonely.
So does Mariposa, who is new in town. Maybe they could keep each
other company? "Hello," says Leonard. "Hola," says Mariposa. While
the friends don't share a language, they do share adventures. And
together they find a place where all cats-and their humans-are
welcome.
For all of life's adventures comes The Road Not Taken, which The
New York TimesBook Review calls "a book that begs rereading."This
beautifully illustrated companion is inspired by Robert Frost's
perennial poem. Heartwarming illustrations of a young boy
journeying through a yellow wood accompany the original text of the
poem. When a fork in the road arises for the boy, so too does the
first of life's many choices. And as the poem progresses, so does
the boy's life: college, career, marriage, family, loss, and, by
journey's end, the sweet satisfaction of a life fully lived. The
first children's book ever made of Frost's famous poem, this moving
presentation makes an inspiring gift for graduation, marriage,
career moves, and all of life's exciting roads.
