"One day a girl washed up on the beach. After she wiped the seaweed out of her eyes, she looked around. Everything seemed strange. She couldn't remember who she was or where she came from. Along came two walkers." 
 So begins this fantastic story of a lost girl and an unusual family. Peg and Mumblety invite her to come home with them, right on top of a volcano. They found their oldest boy while digging in the ash garden, the second came shooting out of the volcano, and the third blew in on a northeast gale. 
 The girl likes what she sees and hears, but asks her new friends to return the next day for her answer. They leave her alone. "We don't keep children," they say reassuringly. That night she dreams of magical adventures, swimming in the sea, floating in a hot air balloon and flying above the desert. She wakes with an answer.

The Watcher

This is a story that celebrates the non-conforming child. Instead of being a "doer" like most of the other kids he knows, George is a watcher. He watches television. He watches cars and trucks. He watches clouds in summer and snow falling in winter, and he watches big machines. 
 Unfortunately, George doesn't have any friends. No one really knows him--until the day when Sarah starts choking in the school cafeteria. While everyone else turns into watchers, George turns into a hero. People realize that there's more to George than meets the eye, and while the embarrassed hero becomes a bit more outgoing, he doesn't abandon his watching.

Growing Up & Facts of Life

The Bears We Know

Does anyone really know the bears next door? 
 Every neighborhood has its black sheep... but this one has bears. Well, nobody has actually seen the inhabitants of the house at the end of the road, but that doesn't stop the gossip about The Bears We Know. 
 In colorfully mischievous illustrations, readers are invited to see for themselves these ursine neighbors living life as they see fit. They sleep late every day, and their house is a mess. They eat bagfuls of chips, and they jump on the furniture. They sing songs that make them cry, and they stay up way too late. Also, they growl if anyone gets too close, so nobody visits. But you don't need to visit to know all about these bears... right? 
 Originally published as a mini-book, The Bears We Know is back in a full-sized format with new illustrations that highlight the hijinks of these unsavory neighbors. This playful story promises to charm even as it challenges with the question "Does anybody really know their next-door neighbors?"

Offers a poem about how trees affect our lives.
