A Person Can Be

Naughty and nice? Busy and bored? People can be different things — at the same time! This deceptively simple book uses children’s everyday experiences to explore human complexity. Each page features a child embodying two seemingly contradictory characteristics. For example, a boy’s bouquet of balloons makes him lucky, but since one has floated away, he’s unlucky at the same time. In another, a girl making sure the food she’s pouring lands in her cat’s bowl is careful, but since her foot has knocked over the bag of food, she’s also clumsy. Full of clever observations, it’s sure to pique kids’ curiosity and make them wonder — How many different things am I?

You Might Be Special!

By: Kerri Kokias

A funny interactive “quiz” identifies the most special creature of all — you! Do you ever feel like you’re different from everyone else? Like there’s no one quite like you? Then you might be special! Take this quiz to find out! This playful “quiz” first asks conventional Yes! questions, like: “Do you like to stay up late? Are you sometimes wild and crazy?” Then, “Do people run away when they see your furry face and pointy teeth?” No? Then you’re not a werewolf! This pattern repeats for several fantastical creatures — unicorns, dragons, mermaids — until finally children are reassured: they are special, “because you’re YOU!” A one-of-a-kind book for every one-of-a-kind kid!

Snow Sisters!

By: Kerri Kokias

Just like snowflakes, no two sisters are alike, but together, they can share the perfect snow day. Siblings, snow-bunnies, and fans of the Frozen movies will all find something to love in Snow Sisters! When snowflakes fall, two sisters react in different ways. One is excited and the other is wary. The first sister spends the morning outdoors, playing until she's all tuckered out. Meanwhile, the second sister stays indoors, becoming ever more curious about the drifts outside. Soon, they switch places, and spend the second half of the day retracing each other's footsteps. But each sister puts her own unique spin on activities like sledding, baking and building. The simple mirrored text is spare and lovely, and each spread is split to show what each sister is doing independently--until at last they come together in the sweet, satisfying conclusion. LeUyen Pham's Big Sister, Little Sister meets Kate Messner's Over and Under the Snow. "Chock-full of ideas for fun on a snowy day . . . A nice addition to sibling shelves that shows that fun can also be had apart." --Kirkus Reviews

Clever Hans

The True Story of the Counting, Adding, and Time-Telling Horse

By: Kerri Kokias

This true story of the incredible horse whose smarts stumped all of Berlin and changed science reads like a fabulous STEM mystery. Clever Hans was a horse who could do math problems, tell time, read, spell, and more . . . or could he? Even after seeing Hans answer questions correctly, some people thought it must be a hoax. Scientists began to investigate. Eventually, one scientist had a groundbreaking "aha!" moment and realized Hans was clever in a way no one had even imagined. Turns out Hans was so smart, he changed science!
