Shapes (Max Lucado's Hermie & Friends)

Hermie has invited WormieTM over to play his new board game, "Get into Shapes." With a flick of the spinner, Hermie and Wormie are literally bending over backwards to do their best caterpillar impressions of the shape that the arrow lands on. The tumbling, bumbling caterpillars attract the attention of the other garden inhabitants, and soon, the whole group of insects is 'getting into shapes.' Antonio AntTM lends his sectional body to create a perfect triangle; Lucy LadybugTM's wing forms an exact semicircle, and Schneider the SnailTM has to expend little effort to exhibit a circle. Children will laugh and learn as the caterpillar crew teaches them to identify circles, squares, triangles, and other shapes-with an underlying message of using individual strengths toward a team effort.

Shapes, Lines, and Light: My Grandfather's American Journey

Katie Yamasaki’s newest picture book celebrates the life of her grandfather, the acclaimed Japanese American architect Minoru Yamasaki. Minoru Yamasaki described the feeling he sought to create in his buildings as “serenity, surprise, and delight.” Here, Katie Yamasaki charts his life and work: his childhood in Seattle’s Japanese immigrant community, paying his way through college working in Alaska’s notorious salmon canneries, his success in architectural school, and the transformative structures he imagined and built. A Japanese American man who faced brutal anti-Asian racism in post–World War II America and an outsider to the architectural establishment, he nonetheless left his mark on the world, from the American Midwest to New York City, Asia, and the Middle East. This striking picture book renders one artist’s work through the eyes of another, and tells a story of a man whose vision, hard work, and humanity led him to the pinnacle of his field.
