Growing Up & Facts of Life

Did you know that no one knows where flowers came from? No scientist, no botanist. No one knows for sure. All that anyone knows is that there was a time where there were no flowers in the entire world. There were plants like palm trees dotting the Earth, but there weren't any flowers at all. Poppy Bear knows where flowers come from, though! He helps spread them all over the world! Poppy Bear: The Garden That Overslept is the story of two children, Ida and David, who wake up Poppy Bear--who's overslept meaning that, oh no!, spring is late--and they help bring a garden to life. From Today’s Librarian: "Beautiful illustrations and rhyming prose bring this bedtime story to life for little ones ages 3 to 7. When Springtime arrives late, Ida and her brother, David, set out to find out why. The first few pages of illustrations are black-and-white drawings of the youngsters searching for budding flowers and trees. They stumble upon Poppy Bear snoring soundly in the barren garden, and the pages become a kaleidoscope of colors. With the children’s help, Poppy sets out to bring the garden to life. Poppy and the children plant seeds, call upon the rain clouds and entice the local critters to prance and dance in the blooming garden. The story’s rhyming cadence will keep children entertained and is an easy read-aloud for parents. The detailed illustrations of spring—among them fat raindrops and a bright butterfly emerging from a cocoon—are nothing short of fabulous. Children will be inspired to find springtime in their own backyard."

If you could plant a garden that would represent your personality, what would it include? Maybe cherry tomatoes, green peppers, and delicious strawberries?

Science, Nature & How It Works

Little Wave and Old Swell recounts a journey across the sea made by impetuous Little Wave and his sage teacher, Old Swell. Their allegorical adventure points young and old readers toward the enduring questions: Where did I come from? What is the nature of life? What happens when I die? Old Swell's lessons remind us to stop amidst the rush and clamor of life, calm ourselves, and look within. Little Wave's misadventures show us how our noisy, competitive lives can distract us from life's important questions. The book's mantra Don't hurry; don't stop suggests the pace of a long ocean swell as an alternative to today's frenetic tempo. Written with uncomplicated charm by Jim Ballard -- including original oil paintings by Catherine M. Elliott and a foreword by bestselling author, Ken Blanchard -- this timeless tale is certain to take its place with other classic and engaging parables such as The Little Prince and Jonathan Livingston Seagull.

This comprehensive collection of timeless and powerful stories puts the wisdom of world religions in the hands of young readers. When attempting to find a simple, engaging, and unbiased approach to world religions for her own family, Marilyn McFarlane discovered such a book did not exist. Understanding how important it is for children to build both respect for and knowledge of a variety of religions, regardless of their own faith, McFarlane created Sacred Stories: Wisdom from World Religions. Each captivating story and accompanying sidebar facts and spot illustrations brings to life the key tenets of a particular belief system, while the comprehensive glossary and resource list enable readers to expand their explorations. Including easy-to-understand descriptions and essential stories from Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Native American, and Sacred Earth, Sacred Stories is perfect for parents and teachers who want to expand young readers’ understanding of world traditions.
