Tunjur! Turnjur! Tunjur!

2012

by Margaret Read MacDonald and Alik Arzoumanian

"There was once a woman who had a little pot for a child. Tunjur! Tunjur! Tunjur! That was the sound the pot made as it rolled everywhere. Unfortunately the pot wasn’t old enough to know the difference between right and wrong. That naughty pot ran off with things that did not belong to her until she learned her lesson…the hard way! In this retelling of a Palestinian folktale, children will discover that there are consequences for taking things that don’t belong to them." -- publisher

Folklore

Who built the stable?

2012

by Ashley Bryan

Riding in an open Jeep across the plains of Africa, author/illustrator Ashley Bryan found himself comparing the terrain to Jerusalem, and the bumpy journey to that of Mary’s travel on a donkey. And he came up with a question: Who built the manger where Mary and Joseph found shelter? The answer is conveyed in this picture book that envisions a young boy, a shepherd and carpenter both who, out of love and kindness, cleared the way for another shepherd and carpenter to be born on Christmas day. Told in gentle rhyme, Who Built the Stable? is a celebration of Christmas, of the kindness of children, and of the new hope born with each new baby. -- from publisher's site

Who’s in my family?

2012

by Robie H. Harris and Nadine Bernard Westcott

Join Nellie and Gus and their family — plus all manner of other families — for a day at the zoo, where they see animal families galore! To top off their day, Nellie and Gus invite friends and relatives for a fun dinner at home. Accessible, humorous, and full of charming illustrations depicting families of many configurations (including -- same-sex parents, single parents, foster parents, separated/divorced parents, kids that are born or adopted into families), this engaging story interweaves conversations between the siblings and a matter-of-fact text, making it clear to every child that whoever makes up your family, it is perfectly normal — and totally wonderful.
