Inviting autumnal hues and illustrations draw little ones into this story of listening to their intuition, even when it feels a bit scary. They will begin to see that transition can be beautiful!
What Was I Scared Of?
A pair of empty trousers spooks our friend as he walks through the woods. Hilariously creepy and ridiculously wonderful, the tell-tale rhythm and rhyme of Dr. Seuss carries you along to the end, though you’ll likely be kept on the edge of your “seat”- heehee!
Arthur's Halloween
I met Marc Brown as a kindergartner and had him sign this book one October at a school book fair and it has been special to me ever since! A very relatable Halloween story for children that organically relays the message that judging a book by its cover is never the way to go.
The Scarecrow
A precious story of loneliness and the possibility for healing and reconciliation always exists, even between archetypal adversaries.
One More Acorn
A story begun by author Don Freeman in his living years was completed by his son, Roy, 30 years after his father’s passing. The illustrations are soft and warm. The setting is Washington , D.C. and many of the landmarks are recognizable and could be great jumping off points to teach your little ones about the US Capital or take a field trip to see the sites in person. While you’re there, make sure to keep an eye out for Earl.
The Apple Cake
The Biggest Pumpkin Ever
A festive and seasonal story of how competition can always turn into cooperation, if both parties are willing participants. Together is better!
The Wind Children
