Fifth-grader Bettina Valentino couldn’t be a bigger fan of the funky new art teacher at Bayside Prep, who walks around barefoot to soak up the energy of the earth and is full of inspiring lessons about how art can be used to challenge, shock, and surprise. But when the teacher’s unconventional methods get him into trouble with some influential parents, it’s up to Bettina and some of her art-loving friends to nip the controversy in the bud and support freedom of artistic expression. In his first chapter book, Niki Daly gives readers a quick-paced, profusely illustrated story about a boisterous heroine – as well as tidbits about famous artists such as Picasso, Klee, and Warhol.

A Commedia dell'Arte Tale set in the sun-drenched streets of Renaissance Venice. Angelo longs to be a clown as famous as his grandfather Zan Polo. But times have changed and Venetians no longer flock to see Zan Polo's commedia dell'arte troupe perform in the Piazza San Marco. On Carnival Day, Zan Polo reluctantly gives his grandson a small part, and Angelo rushes off, bursting with ideas, to visit the mask and costume makers and Aunt Rosa-bella's farmyard. Things don't go quite as planned for Angelo -- but that afternoon he redeems himself and revives his family's fortunes in a most surprising way. Celebrate the first triumph of a very young actor in Niki Daly's winning, lushly illustrated new picture book.

Bravo, Zan Angelo!: A Commedia dell'Arte Tale

What Jamela wants for her birthday is a pair of beautiful princess shoes. What she gets instead is clunky, practical school shoes. Jamela is definitely disappointed, but with glitter, beads, and glue - and a burst of inspiration - she transforms her present into a funky, fun work of art. Mama thinks Jamela's handiwork is a waste of hard-earned money . . . until a local artist helps Jamela tap the full potential of her spirited creativity. Vibrant illustrations animate a sunny and satisfying story set in South Africa about embracing the imagination and also about feelings and situations that often arise at birthdays and other gift-giving occasions.

Happy Birthday, Jamela!
