Getting Sick and Feeling Better

2022

by Carron Brown and Wesley Robins

"The books in this new strand of the Shine-a-Light series are focused on helping readers navigate their physical, mental, and emotional health and well-being. The much-loved Shine-a-Light format, which gives readers the magic of being able to 'see through' the page simply by using a flashlight, puts an engaging new spin on core themes that are important in the lives of young children. Getting Sick and Feeling Better follows a child recovering from a cold. Along the way, readers will learn how coughs and colds are spread, and how to protect ourselves and others from germs. The book also gently presents things that we can actively do to keep our bodies and minds healthy." -- publisher

2022

by Diana Ejaita

"Olu lives in Lagos, Nigeria; his cousin, Greta, lives in Milan, Italy. Though their lives may be different, their ways of living and playing are quite similar. They both roller skate; they both skip down the street; they both play with toy trains, trucks, and boats... and they both dream of meeting and being together. Debut author-illustrator Diana Ejaita references her own childhood and heritage to create a rich, poignant, and authentic portrayal of Nigeria, of Italy, and of the unity of childhood." -- publisher
