How We are Smart
Readers learn that being smart is about being more than doing well in school. There are eight ways to be smart and they are reflected in how a person uses his or her body, relates to the natural world, responds to music and art and more. When readers see how the people in this book use their smarts, they learn about themselves too, and their own unique ways of being smart. Back-of-book information about the eight intelligences, along with activities, enhance the learning experience.

Shake Dem Halloween Bones

Told in hip-hop rhyming text, L'il Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks, Tom Thumb, and all of their fairy-tale friends come together for a rapping, stomping, shaking Halloween romp. Scoo-bee-doo-bee-doo-wah. Yeah!
Night Is Coming
Night is coming on Grandpa's farm--creeping through the forest, slipping through the valley, silencing the day.
Dragonfly
W. Nikola-Lisa explores new terrain--his childhood experiences growing up in south Texas during the early 1960s. Unlike his previous books, this is not a book for young children as the author explores the darker elements growing up in a harsh environment. Although the work feels like a memoir, it reads like a novel with the author's spare, unrelenting narrative a perfect accompaniment to the time, place, and underlying familial issues. If you like this book, then you might also like Shark Man, a novel for the middle grades, which picks up where the author left off in Dragonfly taking the reader to the Florida beaches where young Billy-Boy learns how to skateboard, surf, and make new friends....
Hey, Aren't You the Janitor?
W. Nikola-Lisa chronicles his life on the road as a children's book author. Although the stories in this collection reveal a wide variety of characters and settings, the central core revolves around the weird and wacky: a kiss on the hand from a first grader, a brief run-in with Benny the Bull, a case--or two--of mistaken identity. It's the curtain pulled back on a highly esteemed and delightful profession. Readers young and old will enjoy the stories in this collection.
Bein' with You This Way
As they play in the park, a group of children discover that despite their physical differences--straight hair, curly hair; brown eyes, blue eyes; light skin, dark skin--they are all really the same.
Till Year's Good End
Discover what life was like for peasants living in Medieval Europe through this calendar of their daily labors and chores. Based on a Medieval Book of Hours, Till Year’s Good End describes the monthly activities of rural peasants in England during the Middle Ages. Rhyming couplets banner the top of each page while a paragraph for each month elaborates on the daily chores, showing the round of seasons in the farm year. “Each turn of the page reveals a new month and its chores, from plowing, planting and pruning to mending, spinning, and milling.” — Publishers Weekly
