Bear Loves His Home
by Karen Jameson
Illustrated by Ishaa Lobo
This lush, poetic look at the real-life habits of a black bear cub in his first autumn shows his growing independence, the mother-cub bond, and the glorious wonders of nature, all wrapped in a warm bear hug of a picture book.
Bear loves his home, his wilderness home, the warm amber fields and the beauty of home, as he steps out at sunset to forage and roam . . . and that is why Bear loves his home.
What do bears love to do? Eat! Bear has learned how to find tasty, natural foods from his mama, who can be spotted by readers on every gorgeous page, keeping a close eye on her little one. This rhythmic read-aloud is perfect for bedtime, carpet time, outdoors time, anytime.
In addition to the information woven through the story, there are bountiful facts in the back about the habits of American black bears, their life cycle, and how everyone can help these amazing mammals stay wild.

Ascent: The Epic Yosemite Rock-Climbing Rivalry of Royal Robbins and Warren Harding
Kate Messner
Illustrated by Stevie Lewis
New York Times–bestselling author Kate Messner presents a daring game of one-upmanship that pushed the sport of rock climbing to new heights during the Golden Age of Yosemite climbing.
Royal Robbins and Warren Harding were two wildly di erent men who loved the challenge posed by big walls of granite—some that had never been climbed! They paired up to attempt an epic climb on Half Dome. When they didn’t make it to the top, they went their separate ways and soon became fierce rivals, racking up first ascents around Yosemite Valley.
This suspenseful, true story o ers a fast-paced adventure, with plenty of humor, and a good dash of sports history and environmental awareness, told by Kate Messner—one of today’s foremost writers of nonfiction for young people—and climber-illustrator Stevie Lewis, whose love of the sport is on dazzling display.
Perfect for:
• Fans of Kate Messner’s popular History Smashers series
• Fans of adventure stories, sports biographies, and national parks tales
• Teachers and librarians looking for picture books about nontraditional and action sports
• Parents, grandparents, and caregivers searching for exciting nonfiction to engage young minds

CHILDREN’S
We Leave No Trace!
Terry Pierce
Illustrated by Nadja Sarell
“This is something we can do!”
The great outdoors could use some human kindness—and even the youngest children can help! Little hikers, picnickers, and campers will see how they can pitch in for nature by using the Leave No Trace principles modeled here, such as loving trees gently, leaving natural items in their place, using quiet voices to reassure shy creatures, and putting trash where it belongs.
The bouncy rhyming text and vibrant illustrations in this sturdy board book show tiny kids they, too, can easily help protect any wild or natural place while having fun outside.
Terry Pierce and Nadja Sarell reunite for their third book, We Leave No Trace!, which follows Eat Up, Bear! and Hello, Meadow!
