Melanie Moore, with Brian Wray and illustrations by Mike Helm
Based on the inspiring true story of how Melanie Moore created the Book Bus, a mobile bookstore in Cincinnati, Ohio, to fulfill her dream of bringing books to the community Told from the perspective of a 1962 Volkswagen pickup truck Spotlights the joy of reading and the benefits of sharing books with others
Based on the true story of the Book Bus in Cincinnati, this picture book follows a vintage VW pickup truck that embarks on a new adventure to share the joy of reading. Tilly the truck loves two things—helping out on the farm and listening to the stories read to her by the little girl who lives in the farmhouse. As time passes, things change on the farm, and life gets very quiet for Tilly. Missing the feeling of being useful and the sounds of stories being read, Tilly has an idea to share books with the community by becoming the Book Bus. Children gleefully gathered around the little truck when they saw all of the books she had to give. One by one, Tilly handed each of them a special story of their very own. But when Tilly's passion for sharing books is jeopardized, will the community come forward to help her out? ISBN 978-0-7643-6779-3

Doubt
Pia Valentinis 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?" ISBN: 978-0-7643-6438-9 Size: 11" x 8 3/4" (279 x 222 mm) Pages: 36 Binding: HC Illustrations: 24 color and b&w images Price: $14.99 /£13.99 GBP/$19.99 CAD

ISBN 978-0-7643-6511-9
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 magical cycles of the universe are represented by a simple definition and an illustration that identifies the main phases. Each example is explored through an observation to link the concept and a quote for the reader to reflect upon. 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.”

“In this wonderfully unpredictable and humorous postmodern book, two animals take control and openly converse about the author-illustrator’s choices of setting and story. Subtle nods to story creators and witty quips will enthrall readers, as will the very premise of dialogue about story elements and unbounded imagination.”
–Rachel Mulligan, School Libary Journal (about Untitled)

“The child protagonist is seldom seen without an important-looking black-covered book, but it’s only after arriving home that its pages can finally be opened. Amid the whir of housework and meal prep, the child slips into another world, which the artist depicts as a darkly inviting, soundless scene of stars, botanical motifs, animals, an elf, and a mermaid. Through this lovely contrast, preschoolers will understand the transportive power of reading . . . buckets of kid appeal.” —Kirkus Reviews
