It’s a rarely occurring natural phenomenon. Its beauty is otherworldly, but legend says that if animals gaze upon one… they become human! Mimbi the seal and Kipo the turtle live carefree lives in the ocean, playing every day with their friends and listening to old tales the octopus tells at night. But one day… Follow these two friends in this new beautiful and magical legend by the creators behind The Truly Brave Princesses, Dolores Brown and Sonja Wimmer." -- publisher
Everyone’s Awake
"A silly and sublime bedtime book from the New York Times bestselling children's book author Colin Meloy. Giggle your way to sweet and silly dreams! A simple goodnight routine turns marvelously madcap in this cleverly rhymed picture book. Instead of settling down to sleep, Dad bakes bread, Mom fixes the roof, and Grandma plays cards with a ghost. And between the dog, the cat, Sister, and Brother, there's at least three different wars being waged! A modern classic perfect for read-aloud fun and bedtime alike." -- publisher
Sissy Goes Tiny
"Sissy Goes Tiny is the story of a little girl and her family who make the lifestyle choice to live tiny and Do More with Less. Filled with “gentle lessons” about conservancy, minimalism, recycling, repurposing, and generosity, this diverse hardcover book shows us all what is possible when families choose experiences over “stuff.” Eight-year-old Sissy loves her life. She loves her toys, her Big house, and her Big backyard. But when her parents decide they are going to "live Tiny," the thought of parting with some of her belongings and living in a Little house on wheels doesn't sound so good. But as her family's new adventure unfolds, Sissy begins to understand that "stuff is just stuff" and living in a Tiny House is filled with the possibility of Big adventures!" -- publisher

"Neela Goes to San Francisco is a colorful counting book centered around little Neela's adventures discovering the surprises and delights of San Francisco. Accompanied by her beloved Bear-Bear, Neela delights in the big and small things that make this city so charming - watching the bustling city go by through an apartment window, seeing the giant redwood trees in Golden Gate Park and hearing the sea lions bark at each other at Pier 39. Each spread offers engagement for children through bold illustrations and encouragement to count out all of the pieces of Neela's adventure. An illustrated map of San Francisco is featured at the end of the book to highlight each discovery throughout the exploration of the city." -- google books
Paws and Edward
"Espen Dekko's gently heartbreaking and heart-lifting story hits the perfect note as it explores death in an accessible, child-friendly, and nonfrightening way. By writing from the dog's perspective, Dekko makes it easier for children to understand and accept Paws's decline and death. Beginning with Paws dreaming of chasing rabbits and ending with Edward dreaming of Paws chasing rabbits, the story has a circular structure that is satisfying and reassuring, as it conveys the boy's acceptance of the loss of his beloved pet. Richly colored illustrations by Mari Kanstad Johnsen have a simultaneously retro and contemporary feel, perfectly highlighting the joy and love at the heart of this boy-dog relationship. This book is an excellent choice for any children --- or adults --- dealing with or talking about loss, or for lessons about the life cycle of living things." -- publisher
