Good News Bad News: for the pessimist and for the optimist in each of us

ages 0 to 8 years—always a fabulous, funny gift!
There are exactly
four words in this book—good, bad, news and very!  But they tell a super story—of a hopelessly optimistic rabbit and an equally hopelessly pessimistic mouse who are about to share a picnic.

Every once in a while, we each need something to jolt us out of the everyday and remind us that we each have it in us to do and be great. Amazing Babes does that - it's a book that's lovely to touch and to feel, beautiful to look at and simply inspiring to read.

the power of wishing

This very beautiful picture book is about Rose, who is  “a new face in a new street.”  It's a daunting prospect for anyone, young or old. This is a book that adults will love to look at and read aloud, for the gentle reminders they’ll find as much as the sheer loveliness of it.

rollicking farmyard fun when a pig goes swimming!

ages baby to 6 years
Great for a birthday present!  A tremendously fun book about a hot pig who looks longingly at a pond. The ducks and the geese are happy and cool, but …’pigs don’t swim’. Finally, it all gets the better of her. She throws convention to the wind and dives in. It's not always to our advantage to follow the rules!

ages 2 to 8 years
A really funny look at a donkey who lives inside!  (There are more positives than you might think.) Great for musing about how other people live—and the possibility that there could be more than one good choice in life.

Using an imagined conversation between God and Harriet Tubman, this book tells the true story of how Harriet found her way to freedom from slavery - and how she helped so many others to do the same. It’s just lovely to settle into and let the words and pictures swirl about as they do a very important work.
