Elinore sits alone and weeps in the tower room where she has been told to spin straw into gold. No one can do such a thing, unless it's the strange little man who mysteriously appears at the stroke of midnight. He claims he can, but not unless the price is right. Elinore offers her necklace and ring, but they won't be enough. Only her firstborn child will satisfy the wicked little man. Afraid to make such a promise, and just as afraid not to, Elinore watches in fear as the spinning wheel begins to turn - whirr, whirr, whirr. The mystery and magic of this timeless tale have been wonderfully enhanced by Dorothy Joan Harris and Regolo Ricci. In their hands, Rumpelstiltskin has become a story from the past for today's children. After almost two hundred years, these characters have come to life as feeling, thinking people with choices to make and lessons to learn.

Aunt Floydie is feeling a little blue. She's as old as the hills and so forgetful that she's forgotten just how old she is. But Aunt Floydie has three good friends and a heart as big as all outdoors.

Jeremy is extremely proud of his famous father, but if one more well-meaning fan asks if he is going to be an orchestra conductor when he grows up, he may just scream. Jeremy's ultimate decision about his future will bring as much surprise and delight to readers as it does to his family. This gender-fair story is a must for every book collection.

Mbeku the tortoise is proud of his magnificent, shiny shell - maybe too proud. Because he is so handsome, the greedy tortoise feels he can demand the biggest share of everything. When the birds are invited to a feast in Skyland, Mbeku is determined to go with them. The tortoise even convinces the birds to help him and soon he had magnificent wings of his own. When Mbeku repays the birds with treachery, he learns he is not the only one who can play tricks. With his spirited retelling of a traditional take from the Igbo people of Nigeria, Tololwa M. Mollel brings the crafty tortoise's schemes to a satisfying and lighthearted comeuppance.

The Flying Tortoise: An Igbo Tale

Mollel, Tololwa

Who would want a baby with purple hair? Mrs. Della Ragon, that's who. Oh, to you it might seem frightful, but to her it sounds delightful.    Set in a medieval village, the story begins with Mrs. Della Ragon's visit to the Dr. Gray. When the doctor warns her that her baby might have purple hair, skin of green, pointed ears, and yellow eyes, the other patients are shocked. But Della says she'll love her baby come what may.
