"Medearis has crafted an original story with the timeless tone of a traditional folktale, subtly incorporating the seven principles of Kwanzaa into her plot...Minter's striking linoleum block-print illustrations complement the story perfectly, with the seven decidedly different brothers shown in silhouette against jewel-bright backgrounds full of intriguing details of African village life...A fine choice for a Kwanzaa gift, and a first choice for most school and public-library collections."- Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"Well-paced, the story incorporates the Kwanzaa values without spelling them out too much. Minter's attractively composed, dramatic painted woodcuts, with strong community images and lively, silhouetted figures, root the story in a sun-drenched, magical landscape that will draw children even after repeated readings."- Booklist

https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2019/12/02/books-season-enjoy-with-your-little-ones/ 10 great holiday-season books to enjoy with your little ones The season of all seasons is upon us. And these children's books about Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and wintertime are just what we need to slow down, cuddle up and entertain and enlighten our little ones. "Kugel for Hanukkah?" by Gretchen M. Everin; illustrated by Rebecca Ashdown (Kar-Ben) A little girl celebrates the eight nights of Hanukkah with her family, and each night brings a surprise - although not the one she's hoping for. The tone is set early on: "I lit the shamash and the first candle. Grandma said the blessing. Then we feasted on crispy potato latkes with sweet applesauce." Her grandmother gets a gift of candied cranberries; the little girl, wanting a pet, instead gets a lamp. Each night the family lights another candle, eats more latkes (made with various ingredients and toppings), and the grandmother and girl each open a gift. At the end, the grandmother combines all her gifts to make the girl's favorite treat - kugel (noodle casserole, traditionally eaten during Passover). Later, we see that each of the child's gifts relates to the surprise she receives on the last night: a new pet. Bright, cheerful illustrations pair with the sweet story. "My Family Celebrates Kwanzaa," by Lisa Bullard; illustrated by Constanza Basaluzzo (Lerner) This festive, engaging book, organized into informational chapters, begins: "Hi! I'm Kevin. We're getting ready for Kwanzaa." From there, he explains how his family prepares for the holiday, followed by definitions of key terms, a history of the holiday and how the family celebrates. He says: "Somebody new lights the candles each night. I watch closely so I'm ready for my turn." Back pages provide further details, including components of the celebration and explanations, such as "Families celebrate Kwanzaa in many ways. Some families drink juice from a special unity cup." A question-and-answer page and glossary offer expanded learning. "Barnyard Bubbe's Hanukkah," by Joni Klein-Higger and Barbara Sharf; illustrated by Monica Gutierrez (Kar-Ben) This short board book combines Hanukkah, counting and guessing. For seven nights, a different animal knocks on Barnyard Bubbe's door, letting her know it left her an item. We see only the animals' foot as it knocks, and we see the word for the sound it makes. "KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK/On the first night of Hanukkah, what did Barnyard Bubbe see?/One sack of meal./ 'Oh, my. Who has left this for me?' " The next night, she receives two cups of oil, and so forth, until the eighth night, when she combines all the ingredients to make latkes. On the last two pages, she and each of the animals hold a plate with the latkes. It's a fun read-aloud, and little ones will enjoy guessing which animal makes each of the sounds. "Grover's Hanukkah Party," by Joni Kibort Sussman; illustrated by Tom Leigh (Kar-Ben) A smiling, familiar face from Sesame Street leads readers in counting the many parts of Hanukkah - all of which add up to eight. "Hanukkah is the holiday of 8," reads a page, with the numbers one through eight brightly depicted underneath. Eight also refers to the number of items on Grover's grocery list, the time for the party to start, the number of friends and so on. Various Sesame Street characters make appearances in this short yet upbeat holiday book.

A pleasing window into the world of the farmers' market - School Library Journal, starred review

Sprightly illustrations and engaging rhymes will leave readers eager to sample market bounty - Kirkus Reviews

This cheerful collection of verse offers an enticing introduction to farmers' markets - Booklist

Michelle Schaub's poems have appeared in several anthologies and magazines. She is the author of This and That Sports and Vehicles of WWI (Capstone Press). Michelle lives in Downers Grove, Illinois.

Amy Huntington illustrated Grandma Drove the Garbage Truck, Grandma Drove the Snowplow, and Grandma Drove the Lobsterboat (Down East Books) among others. Amy lives in Williston, Vermont.

♦ A multiethnic crowd of people saunter through a farmers' market, investigating produce, accompanied by cheerful poetry. Does the "smell of a melon give clues you can use"? Are free-range eggs truly "eggs-traordinary," and is honey really "liquid-gold alchemy"? Along with this delectable sampling of sweet corn and the search for gooseberries are a list of reasons to shop at such a market, from "Tempting Your Taste Buds" to "Befriending a Farmer." Huntington's light watercolor brushstrokes provide a pleasing window into the world of the farmers' market, from the early morning unloading of the truck to packing up in the late afternoon. Pair this delightful visit with Grace Lin's mix of science and haiku in Our Food: A Healthy Serving of Science and Poems and Gail Gibbons's exuberant The Vegetables We Eat for a nicely balanced diet. VERDICT When "a line wraps around the corner for fresh-squeezed lemonade" and the "farmers mist the Swiss chard and themselves," you know you're in the right place. Yes!
- School Library Journal, starred review

Creating a casual, summery vibe, this attractive book presents a chronological series of short poems describing a farmers' market. Before dawn, farmers load their trucks and drive toward town. At daybreak, they set up their tents and tables. Soon the market buzzes with people talking and dogs chasing around the stands. Besides the usual produce, shoppers find honey, eggs, baked goods, a knife sharpener, a face painter, and dress-up costumes for kids. Schaub handles rhythm and rhyme with a light, sure touch. Individual poems feature topics such as the selling of sweet corn, the music of fiddle and banjo, and the need for dirt. Created with watercolor, graphite, ink, and digital elements, the illustrations suggest the happy chaos of a busy marketplace in a racially diverse community. Recurring characters, both people and dogs, can be found in many scenes as they observe and interact with one another. As fully illustrated as a picture book, this cheerful collection of verse offers an enticing introduction to farmers' markets.
-In her first picture book, poet Schaub celebrates farmers' markets in 18 buoyant, mostly rhymed poems; readers can follow two children and their respective dogs through one such market in Huntington's (Grandma Drove the Lobsterboat) airy watercolors. The poems sing praises of the edibles on sale at the market, as well its sights and entertainment. "Get your roasted sweet corn here!/can't beat this time-of-year!" reads "Sally's Sweet Corn," while "Delightful Bites" highlights the market's delicious smells: "Alluring aromas float over tent-tops-a whiff of vanilla, a whisper of spice." Occasional moments of excitement (one of the dogs makes a beeline for a table of free fruit samples) capture the bustling energy of an outdoor market.
-A collection of poems celebrates farmers markets. Beginning with "Market Day Today," Schaub encourages readers to "spy the wonders / on display" where "farmers chat" and "musicians play." In "Early Risers," farmers "harvest, sort, / wash, and load" produce at dawn, and in "Transformed," they convert city spaces into "tasty transformations." "Pile Up" describes brown-skinned Farmer Rick meticulously stacking cauliflowers, peppers, beets, and peas in "perfect symmetry," while "Is It Ripe" offers clues on testing cherries, peaches, melons, and apricots. Other poems extol the scrumptious scent of freshly baked goods, the twang and rattle of market music, the "ear to ear" joy of sweet corn, honey's "liquid-gold alchemy," and "eggs-traordinary" free-range eggs. Empty produce crates and brimming cupboards offer closure in "Day's End." Humorous, detail-rich, fresh-toned water-color, graphite, ink, and Photoshop illustrations introduce a brown-skinned farm boy, a white city girl, and their respective dogs, who provide a diverting visual subtext as they explore the market while chasing their rambunctious pets across double-page spreads. "Fresh-Picked Reasons to Spend a Day at the Market" offers useful data on farmers markets.
Sprightly illustrations and engaging rhymes will leave readers eager to sample market bounty.

Persistence and creativity can lead to amazing things, as Leif the leaf discovers in this lovely storybook from Allison Sweet Grant and Adam Grant, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Originals.

Leif is a leaf. A worried leaf. It is autumn, and Leif is afraid to fall. "All leaves fall in the fall," say the other leaves. But Leif is determined to find a different way down, and with his friend Laurel, he uses the resources around him to create a net, a kite, a parachute in hopes of softening his landing. The clock is ticking, the wind is blowing. What will happen when a gust of wind pulls Leif from his branch?

In a culture that prizes achievement, kids are often afraid to fail--failing to realize that some of the very ideas that don't work are steps along the path to ones that will.

Allison Sweet Grant is a writer published in the New York Times and the Atlantic; she holds dual master's degrees from the University of Michigan.

In this delightfully different alphabet book from the creator of Extraordinary Jane, a curious bear makes a new friend. Suddenly " awake" in the middle of winter, a "ig bear" explores a "ozy cabin," which Bear of course "nters e xcitedly." But the cabin isn't empty--a little girl lives there. So begins an unlikely friendship and an unexpected adventure as the girl attempts to figure out what a bear is supposed to be doing in the winter. (Hint: It's not eating pancakes or visiting the library!) With her trademark humor and warmth, Hannah E. Harrison puts her own irresistible spin on the classic alphabet book. The result is a story families will treasure for years to come.

Hannah Harrison is an award-winning illustrator whose first book, Extraordinary Jane, received three starred reviews and was a Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year. She lives with her family in Oklahoma.

★ "The cleverness and humor of the words is matched by art that is painterly, adorably sweet, and laugh-out-loud funny . . . inspired by Helen Oxenbury's ABC of Things (1971). It is a fitting tribute. A perfect a-bear-cedary." - Kirkus, starred review

★ "The bear is adorably goofy, the palette soft and colorful, and the movements of the bear and the girl across the pages pull readers contentedly through the book. The underlying story of friendship and empathy is charming and the vocabulary accessible and informative . . . This is a must-buy for any parent, elementary, or juvenile collection, and teachers will find this a great model text for writing." - School Library Journal, starred review

★ "Each letter describes elements of the duo's journey, the dynamic illustrations proving of particular note as the bear awakens . . . Humorous facial expressions occur every step of the way, and the bear's good-natured mayhem should draw smiles."- Publishers Weekly, starred review

"A girl and a bear star in Harrison's tale that doubles as an alphabet book, letting even pre-readers follow the alphabetical story through the buoyant, expressive illustrations . . . The final page has no words, just a proud look on the girl's face: mission accomplished." - New York Times Book Review

"Inside are some delicious words for readers to try out . . . Harrison's richly colored gouche illustrations are expressive . . . A sunny seasonal story to brighten a cold winter's day." - Horn Book

This story about a reluctant seedling packs a powerful message about the benefits of being different.

It's early spring and below the earth's surface seeds are just starting to sprout. One by one they stretch through the dirt and towards the sun, extending their shoots and leaves and growing tall. All except for one seedling, who isn't quite ready. Each page of this gentle but powerfully evocative book demonstrates how some of us are different. As most of the seeds transform into strong flowers, they block out the sun from the one left behind. But the little seedling persists, twisting and turning until, with the help of bird and insect friends, it finds its own place to grow and blossom. In the end, this little seed turns into a flower that's just as beautiful and healthy as all the others. Hailed by Publishers Weekly as "delicate, complex, extravagant, beautiful and strong," Teckentrup's inviting and softly colored illustrations provide the perfect backdrop for this moving tale about being unique while subtly teaching kids about the life cycle of plants.

BRITTA TECKENTRUP has written and illustrated more than seventy children's books, which have been published in more than twenty countries. Her books include The Egg, Birds and Their Feathers, Oskar and Mo, and Before I Wake Up (all by Prestel). She lives in Berlin, Germany.

"Without sentimentality or special effects, Teckentrup makes readers feel nature's significance by zeroing in on a very small corner of it." - Publishers Weekly

We all know there are four seasons in a year. But HOW do we know? Join intrepid young scientist-adventurer Joulia Copernicus on a journey around the world as she explains with humor and wit how we know what causes the seasons.

Winter, spring, summer, fall -- we all have a favorite season. But what makes the seasons happen in the first place? Ellie Peterson's clear, concise language and bold, kid-friendly illustrations bring science to life through narrator Joulia Copernicus, a strong and adventurous kid scientist. Kids will laugh while learning at the same time about the science behind the changing of the seasons throughout the year.

Ellie Peterson is a middle school science teacher by day, author and artist by night (and any time when doodling can occur). She is inspired to teach readers to question how they know what they know. She works in watercolors, colored pencils, fine pens, pastels, and digitally.

★ "Seasons happen everywhere on the Earth, but the reason they occur may not be as obvious as it seems. (Scientist) Joulia... determines that there is more to the seasons than first meets the eye. Oversize pages and vibrant illustrations immediately draw readers into the narrative... (and) the text is written in a way that is easily accessible to elementary school-age readers. Just as a real scientist questions the assumptions of the world, Joulia gets to the bottom of the question of the seasons in an enjoyable and educational way. This book will help elementary school students better understand one of the most widely recognized aspects of space science." - School Library Journal, starred review

"Joulia Copernicus, a young scientist in a white lab coat and safety goggles, returns to help readers learn why seasons exist. The (book's) logical structure starts with misconceptions and moves toward understanding, but it is the full-color illustrations, bristling with fun details pertaining to the seasons and anthropomorphic planetary bodies, that make this book stand out. Joulia's obvious enthusiasm, accessible language, and the use of sequential visual formats actively involve kids in thinking about scientific concepts. A breezy, information-packed, visually attractive explanation of an important elementary school science topic." - Kirkus Reviews

"Scientist Joulia Copernicus takes readers around the world and into space to explain why we have seasons on Earth. Fun, expressive illustrations depict Joulia taking an active part in learning as she explains how Earth's tilt would look in space, the effects it has on different parts of the globe, and how misconceptions about Earth's seasons came to be. Readers will find Joulia's love and excitement for science contagious and might even find ideas for science fair projects as a result. An excellent and accessible introduction to the science behind Earth's seasons." - Booklist

Your mission, fellow readers, should you choose to accept it, is as follows: don't, I repeat, don't let the pigeon drive the bus. Oh, I know, it seems like a simple mission as these things go. Most pigeons like to fly after all, and most of them aren't very talkative anyway. But be warned, this is no ordinary pigeon! This unusual bird possesses all the guile and determination of a toddler angling to get a cookie before dinner.

The formula of this book will quickly become familiar to any reader or listener: the pigeon wants to drive the bus, he NEEDS to drive the bus, and he's DRIVEN to drive the bus!! And nasty hobbitses want to keep him from the precious bus . . . oops, wrong story. ^_^ But, you get the picture. Your job, and your audience's job, is to say "No!" every time and for every ploy. No matter what that pigeon says or does, you can't give him an inch. Cuz you know he'll drive a mile! Kids especially know this routine by heart. After all, they're usually in the pigeon's shoes, thwarted time and time again from getting their momentary heart's desire. This allows them to try out the other role, to see what it's like to be the authority, to set the boundaries and delightfully shout "No!" every time. They aren't fooled for one minute by this pigeon.

I'd really hesitate to call this book a storybook. Because this book really isn't one in the traditional sense. The audience does not sit quietly and wait to see what happens next. They make it happen. Without audience response, this book is only half a story. All of our crafty pigeons comments are directed outward, to the audience. He knows the reader is there and is ready to bargain with him and wear him down with his dreams of bus driving. Likewise, the pictures are simple, unadorned and angular. These are not misty and gorgeous pictorial masterpieces like Mary Grandpre might draw. But another illustrator's work would not have fit the book and created the delightfully subversive book that this has turned out to be. Like some of the best comic strips, our characters don't have to be realistic or elegant to get their point across and display a wide range of emotion and reactions. The books convey that information readily and simply, without anything to clutter or distract the reader from those actions. This is not art that is dressed up to the nines. This is art that gets down to work: casual, direct and very effective at what it does. Taken out of context, the pictures may be uninspiring and seem crude. In context, they make the story come to life and jump off the page.

This is a modern tale and a modern classic. Particularly appropriate for kids in urban settings who may have never seen a barnyard or a cow, but sure as heck know what a pigeon and a bus is! There's no fancy prose or cutesy sweetness here, instead we find wry intelligence and a subtle charm that hits home with its target audience. If you have preschoolers I suggest you check this book out, despite your reservations. Probably best for a preschool to kindergarten age group, since kids much older than this will be looking for more complex reads and longer stories.

If you like this, there are more books in store in the Pigeon series, but this one-to my mind-is the best. You might also want to check out CLICK, CLACK, MOO. COWS THAT TYPE by Doreen Cronin, or if your child is a bit older, perhaps THE STINKY CHEESE MAN AND OTHER FAIRLY STUPID TALES by John Scieszka. It's definitely worth a try with a child, and great for a whole group of kids. Give it a read, let your children give it a listen . . .but don't, and I repeat, DON'T let the pigeon drive the bus!

Happy reading! Shanshad ^_^

When a bus driver takes a break from his route, a very unlikely volunteer springs up to take his place-a pigeon! But you've never met one like this before. As he pleads, wheedles, and begs his way through the book, children will love being able to answer back and decide his fate.

Endearing poems that express children's feelings of love, friendship and curiosity are gathered together in the form of letters in this unique and creative collection. The charismatic letters penned to teachers, classmates, family members and others such as the playground snow girl or "fill-in-your-own-name" delight and intrigue 4 to 8 year old readers. Adding a different twist to modern free verse, Adoff makes brilliant use of word and letter placement to emphasize and capture the statement each love letter makes. There is a poem to which every child can relate, whether it is the boy with a secret crush- "Dear Tall Girl At Front Table: I love you more than peanut butter cookies crumble. I love you more than yellow bees bumble. I also love you more than dark thunder clouds rumble." -or the admiring son- "Dear Hard Working Dad: Even when you snore on the couch, I am proud with a full heart for you." Each poem stands alone as a distinctive piece, and is accompanied by innovative artwork for which illustrator Desimini used sculptured models, collages, oil paintings, photographs and mixed-media computer graphics. A true-to-life model of grandmother's head accompanies a tribute to her homemade treats, and an original collage of common objects forms a self portrait that accompanies a letter to oneself. This collection would make a great addition to a Valentine's Day celebration as a read-aloud, and children will be drawn to its humor and lightheartedness while reading independently as well.

Stunning collage art full of rich color, glorious details, and a sense of wonder-reminiscent of the work of Ezra Jack Keats-illustrate this delightful story celebrating the poetry found in the world around us.

What is poetry? Is it glistening morning dew? Spider thinks so. Is it crisp leaves crunching? That's what Squirrel says. Could it be a cool pond, sun-warmed sand, or moonlight on the grass? Maybe poetry is all of these things, as it is something special for everyone-you just have to take the time to really look and listen. The magical thing is that poetry is in everyone, and Daniel is on his way to discovering a poem of his own after spending time with his animal friends. What is poetry? If you look and listen, it's all around you!
