Spring Is for Strawberries

Katherine Pryor, Illustrated by Polina Gortman

An illustrated tale of a friendship between children from the farm and from the city meeting at their local farmers market

A celebration of local seasonal foods as experienced by children over the course of one delicious year

Promotes families harvesting and eating together in a charming, fun read-aloud story

After waiting through a long, cold winter, a farm family brings their spring crops to a city farmers market, where the farmer’s daughter befriends the daughter of a neighborhood family doing their weekly shopping. Over the course of a year, the girls explore the bounty of each season. Sweet spring strawberries and crisp, fresh greens make way for corn on the cob, peppers, and a rainbow of tomatoes. Fall brings pumpkin patches and the crunch of apples. The friends part at the final winter market, already looking forward to the sweet red strawberries that will unite them again next spring.

From the award-winning author of Hello, Garden! and Bea’s Bees comes a lyrical celebration of seasonal local foods. Endearing illustrations depict the growing friendship between two children from seemingly different worlds. Featuring scenes from an urban farmers market as well as the farms where the food is grown, this delightful tale reminds us that food is the great unifier of all humankind.

DIE-CUT COVER

Opposites The Opposing Forces of the Universe

Soledad Romero Mariño, Illustrated by Mariona Cabassa

Everything that exists in the universe has an opposite, and this poetic journey captures the beauty of how none of these opposites remain pure or still

A circular die cut on the cover provides a window into the opposing and complementary forces of the universe

The mix of science, poetry, and art is structured in a way to draw children into these 11 opposing forces that are part of everyday life

All opposites are complementary, one could not exist without the other, but opposites mix and blend all the time, and it is from this movement that the world as we know it springs forth in all its multicolored and diverse glory! Young readers are introduced to naturally occurring phenomena like the moon and sun, the sky and earth, silence and sound, masculine and feminine, and even death and life.

Through lyrical verses and glorious illustrations, each of the 11 pairings is identified, then followed by an observation to link how they blend and work together along with a quote from a famous personality such as Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Walt Disney, Rudyard Kipling, L. Frank Baum, and others.

Learning about opposites is foundational to help children develop math, observational, creative-thinking, and language skills. So whether the passionate and free magic of the emotion inside you wins out or the thinking and precision of reason has you wanting to help solve the mysteries of life, the opposing forces of the universe await!

Children face doubt in every part of their lives. What will I wear? How long will I have to wait? Did I do it right? Doubt is an intelligent approach for children from their own point of view that combines subtle humor with a little bit of irony to reassure the reader that we all cope with similar unknowns. Through a warm combination of colors, Pia Valentinis illustrates these common self-doubts through animals, each asking a simple question that creates a comfortable atmosphere where the reader is presented with different ways of dealing with them. Doubt is a part of life, what makes us human, and in a world where we are pressured to be perfect, it is a healthy lesson to learn that the world can be wrong, that we are at liberty to change our minds, and that it is okay to stop and question, because "I always have so many doubts . . . Don't you?"

The Magical Cycles of the Universe

DIE-CUT COVER

Soledad Romero Mariño, Illustrated by Mariona Cabassa

With all things that exist in the universe, when they come to an end, they start over. Nothing disappears completely; everything is transformed over and over again. When winter ends, spring sprouts. After the night, a new day dawns, and from the fruit that has fallen on the ground, a tree grows . . . These are the magical cycles of the universe, and this book shows some of them from the cycle of water and the life cycle of butterflies and humans to the phases of the moon and the seasons of the year. Each cycle is represented by a simple definition and an illustration that identifies the main phases, and is followed by an observation to link the concept and a quote for the reader to reflect upon before moving on. So whether you are following the migration of birds or discovering the powerful sequence of the food chain, you can trace the progression of science and nature in a way to better understand our existence. Welcome to an incredible journey through infinity!

“Innovative, different, clever. These words describe the trio of books in this series. The idea behind these ‘teaching guides’ is to connect nature and its elements to the feelings and experiences children face in their everyday lives. More and more, the expectations and pressures on children, emotionally and academically, can feel stifling and confusing, and these books can be a wonderful resource to healthily sift and push through conflicts, discomforts, and new experiences to become our best selves.” —Midwest Book Review, The Story Monsters Ink Shelf (about the Emotional Ecology series)
