GrrrOUCH! Pain is like a grouchy bear
In GrrrOUCH! Pain is like a grouchy bear, Cathryn Morgan has created a story that a weary parent could read to their suffering, sleepless child anytime, day or night, and that a child would want to read again and again. Told from a child’s perspective, the tone of the story is calm and compassionate, yet whimsical too. The rhyming text is paired with vibrant illustrations by artist Crystal Beshara that are designed to echo emotions, to trigger discussion, and to emphasize how other children learn to cope with their pain. Suitable for children ages six to ten, who are coping with physical or emotional pain, the book’s message would also be helpful, for any child, in learning to understand the pain or illness of a grandparent or other family member.
And Tango Makes Three
The book tells the story of two male penguins, Roy and Silo, who create a family together. With the help of the zookeeper, Mr. Gramsay, Roy and Silo are given an egg which they help hatch. The female chick, that completes their family, is consequently named “Tango” by the zookeepers. The book was based on the true story of Roy and Silo, two male chinstrap penguins who formed a pair bond in New York’s Central Park Zoo.
The Secret Cave: Discovering Lascaux
Jacques, Jojo, Simon, and Marcel were looking for buried treasure when they explored a cave in the south of France in 1940. But the treasure inside was not what they expected, and in fact far more valuable: the walls were covered with stunning prehistoric paintings and engravings, preserved within the sealed cave for over 17,000 years. This is the true story of the boys who discovered the cave of Lascaux, bringing to the modern world powerful examples of the very beginning of art.
