A perilous journey on skis, an encounter with escaped zoo animals, and a new neighbor who becomes a friend all add up to a pleasing package in this series debut.
A solid purchase, and a touching story of friendship. An author’s note provides a personal tribute to the USPS and mentions the impact of the coronavirus on the agency.
A simply told story about stepping forward to support the bullied and change the dynamic, this is an accessible if slight story about courage and bullying in a school setting.
A poetically beautiful story of grief and healing mirrored in the natural world has a touch of magical realism as a young girl processes her emotions and realizes that endings lead to beginnings.
While a young boy grapples very literally with the absence of his grandfather, the abstract representation of death may raise more questions than answers.
What are the lessons? Big animals save small ones? Men save women? This is a sweet story, but collections may already have explored bear-mouse friendships with Karma Wilson and Bonny Becker’s books.
