Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were born in Hanau, near Frankfurt, Germany, in 1785 and 1786 respectively. The Brothers Grimm collected fairy tales, which until then had mostly been passed on orally, and captured them in writing for the first time as a collection. Their fairy tales have appeared in many languages since and in a multitude of editions.
(1918-1999) studied at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Basel, Switzerland and the Ecole Paul Colin in Paris, France. He was considered to be one of the most important poster artists in the fifties. He was famous for his innovative humor and his fresh and colorful style. His best posters told stories. Even today some of them are rare collector’s items. Leupin illustrated countless children’s books. From 1970 onwards, he mostly lived in the Ticino, Switzerland and worked exclusively as a painter.

A recipe for reading It’s time to feed the dragon! But since no princess was available, the next best thing was to give him a child. All the children wrote their names on pieces of paper and put them in a hat. Then a name was pulled from the hat: Oscar! Oscar’s mom wept bitterly—what mother wouldn’t? But she should have known Oscar was far too clever to get eaten by an old dragon!

A TEACHER’S GUIDE TO
The Tale of a Flying Mouse Torben Kuhlmann These are dark times for a small mouse. A new invention—the mechanical mousetrap—has caused all the mice but one to flee to America, the land of the free. But with cats guarding the steamships, trans-Atlantic crossings are no longer safe. In the bleakest of places the one remaining mouse has a brilliant idea. He must learn to fly!
Visit our Educator & Librarian page at www.northsouth.com for free, downloadable resources.
Debut illustrator Torben Kuhlmann’s inventive tale and stunning illustrations will capture the imagination of readers—young and old—with the tale of this courageous young mouse.
Translated from the German by Suzanne Levesque. NorthSouth Books $19.95 (96p) ISBN 978-0-7358-4167-3 On Sale May 2014
The Rainbow Fish ISBN: 9781558580091 • 32 pages • Grades K-3
The Rainbow Fish is an international best-seller and a modern classic. Eye-catching foil stamping, glittering on every page, offers instant child appeal, but it is the universal message at the heart of this simple story about a beautiful fish who learns to make friends by sharing his most prized possessions that gives the book its lasting value. An IRA-CBC Children’s Choice, Christopher Award winner, and American Bookseller ABBY winner.
Publisher’s Weekly Starred Review ★ In a project that seamlessly blends elements of a picture book, comic, and novel, gifted newcomer Kuhlmann imagines that the world’s first transatlantic flight was made not by Charles Lindbergh, but by an intrepid German mouse flying in the opposite direction, starting from Hamburg. Driven to desperation by the deaths of many of his compatriots in newly invented mousetraps, the mouse decides to head for America: “A huge statue greeted all who arrive there, whether human or mouse.” Squads of guardian cats rule out ship journeys, and the mouse begins experimenting with flying machines. Kuhlmann makes every detail of the mouse’s endeavor look and sound delightfully plausible, from his da Vinci–like working sketches to his plan to hoist his plane to the top of a tower by attaching it to the gears of the tower’s clock. The fragility of his machine and the owls that watch him like sentinels at every step give the story constant tension: the owls’ golden eyes are painted with eerie menace. It’s all terrific entertainment, and the fame Kuhlmann imagines for the mouse when he finally succeeds (“The Transatlantic Rodent Hero” trumpets a billboard) inspires a future famous aviator—or so Kuhlmann claims. An exceptionally fine debut. Ages 4–up. (May)

My Grandma's a by Todd Tarpley, illustrated by Danny Chatzikonstantinou 40 pages, $17.95 trim: 8.5" x 11" ISBN: 978-0-7358-4199-4
Ethan’s grandma is a little different. In fact, she’s a ninja!
Ethan becomes the hit of the school— as quick as a zip line—the moment his grandma drops from the ceiling and teaches the kids karate moves. That is, until her power kick deflates his team’s soccer ball. Why’d you have to bring your ninja grandma! But could hanging around a ninja have its benefits? The big game is coming, and Ethan is about to find out in this hilarious story that is anything but ordinary.
About the Author: Todd Tarpley lives in a magical kingdom called
New York City, inside a teeny-tiny castle, with a beautiful princess, two ninja sons, and a menagerie of barnyard animals. His previous picture books include Ten Tiny Toes and How About a Kiss for Me? You can visit him at toddtarpley.com.
About the Illustrator: Danny Chatzikonstantinou was born in 1973. He
illustrates children’s books and sometimes writes the words, too. He learned his craft by drawing on napkins at first. Later on, he moved to sketch pads and notebooks. Now he has a full set of sharpened pencils and tons of blank drawing paper that he never uses because he moved back to napkins again. Danny is a self-taught artist who lives and works in Athens, Greece.
