In a starred review Publishers Weekly raves: "It’s an avant-garde, surrealist story with a Hollywood-style tearjerker lurking within—and a surprisingly charming and affecting one at that." Award-winning poet Matthea Harvey and illustrator extraordinaire Giselle Potter team up to create an indescribably unique picture book about wanting to be normal, then coming to appreciate being different. Ruby would love to be like everyone else—not easy when you have a tiara-wearing mother and a father who spends his time trimming outrageous topiary. She'd also like to get a nice normal pet, maybe a dog. Then, on a family vacation to Norway, she finds herself adopted by a small, affectionate glacier. How Cecil, as the ice pet is named, proves himself to Ruby—risking his own meltdown—is a story sure to thrill and delight young readers.

Original Story Poems is a collection of children's stories that were written by John Marinelli, the author, for his children when they were small. That's been over 40 years ago. The stories came right out of the imagination of the author, as well as, several true-life experiences that prompted him to pen a rhyme. The true life experiences were, "Chasing Rainbows", when he and his young son actually drove through the end of a beautiful rainbow; "Three Vans All In A Row" which were traveling down the road in the other lane one night as the author watched them pass on by; and "The Little Chicken" a real child hood experience that the author recalls even unto this day. The book also contains the fictional story; "The Adventures of Buddy Boy. There are over 80 pages full of humorous, real to life and imaginary stories about little chickens, dogs, bulls, cars, rainbows, trees and numerous other characters. It's a timeless source of reading pleasure. It has been used in elementary school poetry classes, as daycare reading material, and bedtime story readings.

A splendidly illustrated collection of poems inspired by young children that address common themes such as having a hard day at school, feeling shy or being a newcomer. The poems in Climbing Shadows were inspired by a class of kindergarten children whom poet and playwright Shannon Bramer came to know over the course of a school year. She set out to write a poem for each child, sharing her love of poetry with them, and made an anthology of the poems for Valentine’s Day. This original collection reflects the children’s joys and sorrows, worries and fears, moods and sense of humor. Some poems address common themes such as having a hard day at school, feeling shy or being a newcomer, while others explore subjects of fascination — bats, spiders, skeletons, octopuses, polka dots, racing cars and birthday parties. Evident throughout the book is a love of words and language and the idea that there are all kinds of poems and that they are for everyone — to read or write. Cindy Derby’s dreamy watercolor illustrations gently complement each poem. Beautiful, thoughtful, sensitive and funny, this is an exceptional collection.
