Lost Things
A charming story about things lost and found. Sometimes things are lost. A hair ribbon. A pencil. A dog on a leash. But when someone loses a thing, another person may find it, sometimes with surprising results. In this thoughtful and deceptively simple story, several things are lost, then each is found — not always by the person who lost it, but always by someone who can use it. A small story with a big life lesson. Kids (and their grownups!) will have a new way to think, and feel, about losing something.
Wet
Sometimes it's fun to get wet. And sometimes it's not. This is a thoughtful exploration of the ways to get and be wet by children's book author Carey Sookocheff—from puddles and pools, to puppydog kisses. A boy describes how he gets wet at the swimming pool, at the playground, at home. Emotionally resonant and carefully observed, with a gentle bedtime ending, this is a poetic celebration of wetness—and childhood.
A Person Can Be
Naughty and nice? Busy and bored? People can be different things — at the same time! This deceptively simple book uses children’s everyday experiences to explore human complexity. Each page features a child embodying two seemingly contradictory characteristics. For example, a boy’s bouquet of balloons makes him lucky, but since one has floated away, he’s unlucky at the same time. In another, a girl making sure the food she’s pouring lands in her cat’s bowl is careful, but since her foot has knocked over the bag of food, she’s also clumsy. Full of clever observations, it’s sure to pique kids’ curiosity and make them wonder — How many different things am I?

Will her dog, who starts out as a problem, end up as solution?
