Hello Hello
By Brendan Wenzel
Chronicle Books, 2018. Picture Book.
Say hello to many amazing animals. Some are huge. Some are tiny. Some are soft and shaggy. Some are rough and scaly. Some are brightly colored. Others are richly patterned. It's easy to see how they are different from one another. But can you tell what makes them the same? In the hands of Caldecott Honor-winning author-illustrator Brendan Wenzel, a seemingly simple look at similarities and differences becomes a story of connection--a joyous ode to the natural world, in all its diversity and wonder. --Publisher

One Day in the Eucalyptus, Eucalyptus Tree
Written by Daniel Bernstrom
Illustrated by Brendan Wenzel
One day in the leaves of the eucalyptus tree hung a scare in the air where no eye could see, when along skipped a boy with a whirly-twirly toy, to the shade of the eucalyptus, eucalyptus tree. Join a shifty serpent, a clever little boy, and a disappearing cast of animals in a cumulative tale that will have children captivated. Daniel Bernstrom's original folktale combines the delightful feel of Kipling, the musicality of Peter and the Wolf, and the fun and delight of Simms Taback, while Brendan Wenzel's sumptuous palette brings together a world of color, movement, and character that is rarely seen. --Publisher

She dreams of a day when her village will have cool, crystal-clear water of its own. --Publisher
