"A [poetic] celebration of each month of the year"--

"From the creative force behind Circle Under Berry comes a deceptively simple picture book exploring sorting, comparatives, and quantifiers that teases the brain, twists expectations, and teaches basic ideas in unusual ways. A page-turner for first-time page-turners, this kaleidoscopic compendium shows young readers the infinite variability of perspective inherent in even our foundational concepts"--

There¿s a lot going on in Room 19.A sleepover? A talent show? And worst of all, NEW TABLE GROUPS?!Audrey L and Audrey W were destined to be friends. They both love purple, they have the same stationery, and they have the same name¿so of course! But this month, all of Audrey L¿s joy at finding her first best friend feels a little wobbly. When Room 19 switches seating order, she and Audrey W are separated by a whole classroom¿and from where Audrey L¿s sitting, it looks like Audrey W is having a grand old time with . . . Bettina! Now Bettinäs coming with Audrey W to the tree house. Bettinäs joining the Audreys¿ Talent Show act. Gosh, what ISN¿T Bettina involved in these days? Can Audrey L welcome change into her newfound classroom calm? Or is this the beginning of the end?This bighearted, laugh-out-loud chapter book will resonate with any young reader who¿s ever felt overlooked or second best. The second book in the Audrey L and Audrey W series, TRUE CREATIVE TALENTS breathes great gusto into the joys and traumas of elementary school drama.

This wide, wonderful world contains many things. Some things are as big as a family of bears; some are as small as a reflection in a puddle. Some things are felt rather than seen.In between it all is . . . you. What kinds of things will you collect?This lovely, lyrical book collects the world by size. Divided into three chapters with three specially paper-engineered separations, every page encapsulates one precious moment that perfectly represents both a size and an experience. For example, section one, Small Things, includes "a snail / and his home / and the road he has traveled." Section two, Big Things, includes "a bear / and his mama / and his pop / and the hugs they probably give each other." Section three, In-Between Things, includes "the dirt that knows / the promise underneath / and the sunshine above." Beloved author Carter Higgins's poignant, poetic text and Daniel Miyares's incandescent illustrations capture a whole new way of seeing the world in this beautiful, giftable meditation on what it means to be a kid - and what it means to be a human.
