$8.95

Imagine. You're a bird, only fifteen inches long. You spend half the year on one side of the planet and then you fly to the other side for the rest. Round trip: eighteen thousand miles. On the way there you touch down in many different countries; you're just a passing visitor. And on the way back . . . there is nowhere to stop. Just ocean for seven thousand miles.

A young girl and her grandmother, Baba Didi, are on a beach watching the godwits preparing to migrate. Talking about the birds's courageous journey across the Pacific resonates with generations of human migration, from the Maori reaching New Zealand to Baba Didi's journey from Croatia.

Catastrophe by the Sea

$9.99

From revered nature writer Brenda Peterson and told through striking and vibrant mixed-media collages by Caldecott Medalist Ed Young, Catastrophe by the Sea is a poignant story of redemption through empathy and compassion found in the most surprising places, and also provides a rich understanding of small creatures that live in a dangerous tidal zone.

A lost cat roams the tide pools, pawing relentlessly at the small creatures that live there. One day an anemone confronts him and asks why he is alone and befriends him. In partnership with the Seattle Aquarium, Catastrophe by the Sea delivers a powerful message of finding understanding and friendship, and at the same time educates on the varied wildlife brimming in tide pools.

“For several years, the Seattle Aquarium has studied the role of empathy in promoting conservation. Empathy is the ability to perceive, understand and care about the experiences or perspectives of another person or animal. We most often feel empathy for other people, but we can also feel empathy for animals. This led us to the idea of a children’s book. Animals are regular protagonists in children’s books, but these characters are primarily vertebrates and often charismatic mammals. Could we create a book that would allow kids and their caregivers to empathize with strange and exotic marine animals, like sea anemones or barnacles? We hope this book strikes a chord with audiences and fosters empathy for animals less like us.” --Jim Wharton, director of conservation engagement and learning at the Seattle Aquarium

“A touching and familiar children’s picture book about postponing the ritual of going to sleep.” - Children’s and Teen Book Connections

"A loquacious child's chatter delays bedtime in this children’s picture book. Readers will enjoy watching Oliver's green toy T. Rex, which falls asleep along with him." - Kirkus Review

Nominated for the Literary Award: CLEL Bell Picture Book Awards Nominee for Talk (2018) and a Finalist of the Crystal Kite Award, New England region, 2018

It's bedtime and Oliver should go to sleep. But there is so much Oliver has to tell his mother first – everything that happened that day, every little thing he noticed that day, all the books he has read, everything that he sees around him... And of course, that he loves her. A sweet and oh so recognizable bedtime story about the bedtime ritual (and postponing it). For children ages 4 and up. >
