The (Ferocious) Chocolate Wolf Things are not always as they seem. When Ferocious, the not-so-ferocious wolf, decides to open a chocolate shop, all the other animals in town are afraid. However, a pig decides to trust the wolf and help with the chocolate endeavor. While the other animals think the pig has made a deadly decision, he’s really started a sweet new friendship. The other animals’ eyes are opened to the possibility of accepting Ferocious into the fold and looking past his differences to the generous baker behind the big teeth. This picture book combines heartfelt storytelling with bright illustrations to teach an important lesson about empathy, inclusion, and friendship.

Caged Caged is a wordless and witty tale of freedom, ingenuity, and thwarted ambition. While a bluebird builds her nest in the forest, two eccentric gentlemen have a more ambitious construction in mind: a vast palatial building made from birdcages filled with colorful parrots. As the trees come down and the structure goes up, the bluebird watches the spectacle.

More and more caged birds are consigned to their fate until at last a huge dome completes the work. However, when the celebrating architects go in to admire their creation, the little bluebird brings their ambitions crashing down around them.
