A Day with Yayah is Nicola I. Campbell’s way of sharing her First Nation culture with everyone. Set in Nicola Valley, British Columbia one First Nation family goes together on a special hunting trip. Not only to they find the mushrooms and herbs Yayah needs, but the children learn a bit about their culture as well. They learn rituals, about plant life, about the natural world and how to properly pronounce words from their native language. There is not a lot of action as one […]
Fox & Chick: The Party: and Other Stories
Sergio Ruzzier has created the new must read for the Elephant and Piggie fans. As well as fans of other characters that have…. well, character! Patient, calm and thoughtful Fox and impulsive, hyper and flighty Chick are an odd duo. In fact, how can they be friends? But these two make it work. They have a number of adventures from “using the bathroom” to painting a portrait (that started out as painting a landscape). And while each of these adventures might not work out as […]
Hello Lighthouse
Caldecott-winner Sophie Blackall has created a picture book that takes us back in time to when lighthouses had to have a lighthouse keeper and before things were automatic. This was not an easy task, as it was dangerous and at times, even lonely. In Hello Lighthouse, she explains the daily life of a lighthouse keeper. The ups and downs he (and sometimes she) would have to face. The dangers of ice on the windows and keeping the light always wound. The dangers of fog so […]
Big Mushy Happy Lump!
Sarah Anderson is a genius! And Big Mushy Happy Lump (Sarah’s Scribbles #2) is proof of that. As with Adulthood is a Myth and Herding Cats, she mixes humor and seriousness into the life and trials of being Sarah (a young woman going through her twenties and thirties). However, teens can see themselves and forty-somethings, too. Be it our past, present or even future. She cleverly shows us the way of the world (self-esteem issues, love of cats, boyfriends, being cold, clothes, being a woman […]
Kid Spy!
Something tells me Mac Barnett was not just a quirky kid, but is a quirky adult. His new series, Mac B., Kid Spy Volume One: Mac Undercover proves this. The Mac B. series are true stories about how Mac was a (wait for it) a spy. But not just any old spy. No, he was a kid spy for the (again, wait for it) Queen of England (does not matter he lives in the United States and has to go to school tomorrow). As farfetched […]
Meditation and Pizza who could ask for anything more?
Mediation Is an Open Sky: Mindfulness for Kids is a book that describes nine different mediation exercises for kids. However, they would also work for the adult looking to start meditating. Each page is one meditation that can help with ways to focus managing stress, fears and other challenges we face. It would be a good start for anyone. Sally Rippin has added to Stewart’s text with fun and light illustrations. I have tried to do some medicating recently and this book is basically what […]
