Preschool Time
Shhh! Quiet!
By Nicola Kinnear
London: Alison Green Books, 2020. Picture Book.

A funny, heart-warming story about the value of being quiet - and how to find your voice when it really matters. Quiet little Fox has a problem: her friends are so noisy, she can never make herself heard. What she really wants to do is tell them stories, if only they'd stop shouting and listen. But being quiet has its uses. Fox notices all the small things that her noisy friends miss: like the claw marks and paw marks of a great big scary bear! It takes courage for Fox to speak up and warn her friends - and even more courage to tell that scary bear a bedtime story! --Editor

Painting for Peace in Ferguson

By
Painting for Peace in Ferguson By Carol Swartout Klein Treehouse Publishing Group, 2015. Nonfiction. When the city of Ferguson was overrun with so much hate and despair that homes and businesses had to be boarded up to protect property, citizens of the community decided to bring a message of hope by painting the boarded windows. Klein’s rhyming text supports the photographs of the hundreds of artists and volunteers and their artwork as they bring the messages of peace, hope, love, and that by being united they can make a difference. A great book to show children how a community rallied to make a positive change and that even a small gesture can make a huge difference. A great discussion opener on how we should treat each other.

Includes notes about the artists and works featured. --Editor Stories in the Park Gray Written by Laura Dockrill Illustrated by Lauren Child Somerville, MA: Candlewick Press, 2024. Picture Book. Some days you may feel sunshine yellow or orange-balloon bright. Other days you're gray, or even night-sky black-like a dark scribble on a page, a storm in the clouds, or a puddle in the road. Gray is when you don't feel like yourself, or like you don't belong. But however you feel, there are big hugs (red) and loving lullabies (blue) waiting, and even the grayest sidewalk is a canvas for you to fill with the colors you choose. A tender narration from British spoken-word poet Laura Dockrill and subtle, spare artwork from fo...
