Universe of Rainbows
Multicolored Poems for a Multicolored World
Poems selected by Matt Forrest Esenwine
Illustrated by Jamey Christoph
What do Yellowstone’s Grand Prismatic Spring, Peru’s Vinicunca mountain, the star Betelgeuse, and a drop of water have in common? Rainbows! In this iridescent collection, Joyce Sidman, Nikki Grimes, Janet Wong, and seventeen other poets explore bursts of color across nature. In haiku, free verse, and other forms, the selections capture marvels like crystals, Gouldian finches, and marble caves. Acclaimed illustrator Jamey Christoph brings each rainbow to life in brilliant color.
With dazzling language, luminous artwork, and fascinating science sidebars, A Universe of Rainbows is a mind-boggling tour of wonders big and small.

Trouble Dog
From Shelter Dog to Conservation Hero
Written by Carol Foote
Illustrated by Larry Day
At the animal shelter, every visitor says Tucker the dog is too much trouble—until Laura. Laura thinks Tucker might be just right for a very special job. Could all his energy make him an amazing conservation dog? Laura trains Tucker to track down Gila monsters, endangered flowers, even grizzly bear poop. His first assignment is in Hawaii, searching for invasive rosy wolf snails hidden under leaves. Where will his nose lead him next?
With colorful, endearing art and dashes of humor, Trouble Dog invites children to join scientists—and their canine colleagues— in their work to save wildlife around the world.

Counting Winter
Written by Nancy White Carlstrom
Illustrated by Claudia McGehee
One red fox walks across the white snow—quietly stalking winter. Two ravens croak and gurgle—raucously talking winter. Three snowshoe hares hop on big paws—silently tracking winter. Wherever you look, another creature is making its mark on the snow-covered season.
Inspired by the author’s years in Alaska, this lyrical book celebrates the rhythms of the tundra and its inhabitants. Poetic lines and stunning scratchboard art create the perfect read for chilly days— whether winter is just beginning or just starting to melt into spring.
A “Carlstrom’s writing deftly sets this title apart from other counting books…A little scratchboard, a little watercolor, and voilà! The prettiest nondenominational winter book seen in ages.”
