We thought we knew what true love was, and now we do...because of you.  With the wonderful addition of a baby to the family, new parents find that their love grows more than they ever thought possible--more than all the raindrops that fall, more than all the sand on the beach, and more than all the stars in the sky.  With beautiful and relatable expressions, they let their child know that the love of a parent is unparalleled and unconditional.  --Publisher

Kids Can Press, 2019.  Picture Book.

In this clever book, a green lion is waiting at a red traffic light. While he waits, a series of unexpected events occur, involving such things as lightning, a lilac, library books and lima beans. Or rather, li-ghtning, li-lac, li-brary books, and li-ma beans because the text on each spread ends with Red light, green li-? and the reader must turn the page to see the whole word --- and what's happened. All the while, the lion calmly and helpfully deals with whatever shows up (even loading livestock into a lifeboat!) and wryly muses about the way life can be. Some days are not like most days, the lion explains at the beginning. But as all children know: those days are usually the most fun!  --Publisher

Review: The Hidden Dragon

By
The Hidden Dragon By Melissa Marr New York: Nancy Paulsen Books, 2023. Fiction. 161 pages. Three children, Otter, London, and Sophia, live in a fantasy world with dragons. Otter (short for Ottilie) is the daughter of a ship captain, and she loves the sea and its dragons. London is a stowaway boy, searching for a new life full of adventure. Sophia lives in a thief house with other children, all dedicated to helping each other and trying to make the kingdom better. As trouble begins to brew both on land and at sea, these three heroes realize that maybe it's up to the kids to make things right. Readers experience the book from multiple perspectives, and with a bit of mystery and adventure, this is an amazing fantasy read. With the inspiring message that children truly can make a difference, readers will enjoy how each character fights for what's right, even when it's inconvenient. The ending is resolved a little quickly, but this is a great read for all "hatchlings."
