"When Stella does not want to go to bed, she tries all sorts of ways to keep the sun up"--
In this third effervescent book in the Stella picture book series, Stella and Roger imagine all the incredible grown-up things they can do when they’re older! Stella can’t wait to turn seven! She and her best friend, Roger, agree seven-year-olds get to have much more fun. But the more grown-up you are, the more you can do, so maybe Stella will skip seven altogether and go straight to eight years old! Anything’s better than being six. Being seven or eight is being practically a grown-up, like Stella’s neighbor Eva. Eva does all kinds of thing Stella can’t yet—real grown-up things like eating vegetables…getting a job… Maybe Stella didn’t think this all the way through.
When Stella's friend Owen loses a tooth at the museum, Stella and Roger believe that someone stole it and search high and low to find it.

This humorous picture book is sure to make you laugh and will spur great conversations with children about what it means to be a good friend.

Get out! Run! We must leave this place! They are going to destroy this whole place! Go, children, run first! Go now! These were the final shouts nine year-old Kim Phuc heard before her world dissolved into flames—before napalm bombs fell from the sky, burning away her clothing and searing deep into her skin. It’s a moment forever captured, an iconic image that has come to define the horror and violence of the Vietnam War. Kim was left for dead in a morgue; no one expected her to survive the attack.
