p. 28

p. 33

Written by Sarah Grace Tuttle Illustrated by Amy Schimler-Safford A perfect blend of poetry and science, Hidden City demonstrates that nature can thrive anywhere, even in highly populated areas. This graceful collection of poems carries readers through the seasons, capturing a world where skyscrapers serve as perches for falcons, streetlights attract an insect buffet for hungry bats, and an overgrown urban lot offers shelter to both flora and fauna.

Coupled with engaging informational back matter, the poems in Hidden City offer readers of all ages the perfect reminder to notice and care about their environment.

Sarah Grace Tuttle holds bachelor’s degrees in environmental studies and English, with a master’s degree in writing for children. Hidden City, her debut book, combines her passion for writing and dedication to ecology. She lives in Massachusetts, where she helps facilitate a local conservation group. www.sarahgracetuttle.com

Good Morning, Harry— Good Night, Daddy Written by Katy Beebe

Also by the author

Illustrated by Valeri Gorbachev As Harry and Gran head home for supper, Daddy’s day is just getting started.

Daddy is in London, working as a conductor on an overnight train headed for Penzance, while Harry and the rest of his family stay cozy in their seaside cottage. As Daddy bustles around the train, Harry’s day is winding down with dinner, card games, and a hot bath. But when Daddy comes home in the morning after a long night’s work, he and Harry enjoy a happy reunion.

In this warm, soothing book, two parallel stories run side-by-side, finally coming together in a sweet ending that will delight both parents and kids.

p. 14

p. 17

A humble fisherman is taking a nap in his boat when a tourist interrupts him. The outspoken tourist points out that instead of napping, the fisherman could go out and catch more fish, which would eventually earn him enough money to buy a proper motorboat. The tourist continues to embellish his idea, envisioning canneries, restaurants, and private helicopters. But the fisherman has his own ideas about what success looks like.

A cross between a picture book and graphic novel, this funny and thoughtful book will inspire readers to celebrate life’s simple pleasures and enjoy the here and now.

Heinrich Böll (1917-1985) was one of the most beloved German writers of the 20th century. He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1972 for his contribution to the renewal of German literature. His works have been translated into more than thirty languages.

Get on Your Bike

• Conflict resolution • Relationships • Anger management • Exercise

Written by Joukje Akveld Illustrated by Philip Hopman Bobby and William aren’t quite sure how the argument began, but eventually William gets so frustrated that he tells Bobby to leave. Bobby does just that, hopping on his bike and furiously riding away. As he travels through the city and into the countryside, though, he begins to calm down. Maybe William had a point after all? Bobby bikes back into town, hoping William will forgive him, and discovers that he’s not the only one who wants to apologize.

With mesmerizing illustrations reminiscent of Richard Scarry, this vibrant book offers a sensitive, realistic portrayal of a conflict and a compromise.

In this poignant story, a family grieves the loss of their beloved dog, Scout.

It’s pouring rain when Scout dies, and the sky looks like it’s never seen the sun. Little Brother listens to the thunder rumble and suddenly realizes it sounds just like Scout growling at the mail carrier. He starts wondering where Scout is now—if she has food to eat, pigeons to chase, sticks to fetch.

And his search for answers helps the whole family find a sense of peace.

This powerful, heartfelt story will resonate with any reader who has loved and lost a pet.

Herodotus the Hedgehog

• Empathy • Religious tolerance • Diversity • Animals

Written and illustrated by Jean-Luc Buquet Herodotus is a curious little hedgehog who loves exploring the gardens and meadows and forests around him. One day he sees a bear worshipping the Mighty Bear Spirit, and he begins to wonder what other animals believe in.

So he asks them—the fox, the sheep, the raven—and he discovers a fascinating range of beliefs. But what does Herodotus believe in?

This thoughtful book will encourage readers to practice empathy as they ponder their own beliefs and ideas about life’s big questions.

Khepri lives in ancient Egypt, happily fishing alongside his father in the waters of the Nile.

Life can be tough when you’re little. With little legs, it’s hard to win races. With little hands, you can’t open the cookie jar. Sometimes it seems like all your problems would be solved if you were just a little bigger. But sometimes, little is exactly the right size.

The Queen of the Frogs

Klimt and His Cat

Before You Were Born

Written by Davide Cali Illustrated by Marco Somà

Written by Bérénice Capatti Illustrated by Octavia Monaco

Written by Nancy White Carlstrom Illustrated by Linda Saport

The frogs enjoy a peaceful life at the pond, until one day a little frog finds a crown at the bottom of the pond and is instantly pronounced a queen. But when her royal subjects start to question her authority, she must prove she’s fit to rule—if she can.

Katze, the loyal cat of Gustav Klimt, takes readers on an exciting journey through the world of the famous Viennese painter.

This lyrical celebration of the excitement and love with which parents welcome a new child is perfectly matched with soft, expressive illustrations.

“A simple, enjoyable fable that should spark discussion. A fine choice for storytime.”

— School Library Journal

“This quirky distillation of Klimt’s essence is particularly notable for its luminous, goldleafed multi­media paintings that effectively evoke the Viennese Secessionist painter’s individualistic style . . . Beautifully produced.”

Samira and the Skeletons

The Lord’s Prayer

Written and illustrated by Camilla Kuhn

Illustrated by Tim Ladwig

Written by Virginia Kroll Illustrated by Rose Rosely

When Samira learns about the skeletal system in science class, she suddenly begins to imagine everyone in school as a walking skeleton.

She starts avoiding her classmates, even her best friend, but Samira still can’t escape her own skeleton. Or can she?

The beloved words of the Lord’s Prayer are brought to life through contemporary illustrations of a girl and her father who spend a day helping an elderly neighbor.

This whimsical look at friendship combines bouncy lyrics and vibrant gouache illustrations to show the many ways kids can enjoy each other’s company.

“With about eight words per double-page spread, this deceptively simple text celebrates differences and shows us that people of all ages, colors, sexes, and even species can be good friends.”

Now It Is Summer

When No One Is Watching

At Your Baptism

Written by Eileen Spinelli Illustrated by Mary Newell DePalma

Written by Eileen Spinelli Illustrated by David A. Johnson

Written by Carrie Steenwyk and John D. Witvliet

A young mouse looks forward to everything that autumn will bring, but his mother gently reminds him of all the summery joys surrounding him and all the reasons to be content in the moment.

When no one is watching, it’s easy to be brave.

When everyone’s watching, this book’s shy narrator finds it far easier to hide—unless she’s with her best friend. This book will encourage even the most timid of audiences.

Illustrated by Linda Saport
