by Nikki McClureApple follows the life of an apple throughout the year, demonstrating the cyclical patterns in nature. The youngest readers will delight in following the journey of the bright red apple—the only splash of color in the otherwise black-and-white illustrations—as it travels from tree, to harvest, to snack, to compost, and finally to sprout. A single word complements each illustration, urging early readers to reflect on each stage in the apple’s life. Apple is acclaimed cut-paper artist Nikki McClure’s very first book, originally self-published and sold in a limited edition of just 200 copies. Now, 16 years later, it is available in wide release, and fans will relish the chance to own the book that launched McClure’s signature style.

Too bad the white world doesnt accept her either.

Apple learns to deal with the culture shock of Indian customs and the Native Michif language, while she tries to find a connection to her dead mother.

Apple Island or the Truth About Teachers
by Douglas EvansStudents who have suspected that teachers hibernate over winter vacations, come in only two varieties, crabby or nice, and stay the same age forever will be assured by Evans that it's all true. Young Bradley sneaks away from his classmates during a field trip to Apple Island and discovers that it's a teacher training ground, with chalk mountains, a glue river, origami birds, underground reservoirs of paint, and a school where teachers are instructed in the finer points of marching in lines, assigning homework, and other skills. Worse, he learns that the nice teachers have all left and that the surly ones are plotting to take over the schools. Larry Di Fiori enhances the poker-faced text with plenty of pen-and-ink caricatures, capturing a range of clothing styles and body types that will strike chords of recognition in anyone who has walked a school's halls. After poking good-natured fun at pedagogues, principals, and even librarians (revealing a shaky grasp of the Dewey decimal system in the process), Evans has Bradley save the day with the help of supercompetent Mr. Janitor and other support staff. Evans generally hits his targets but so lightly that teachers will chuckle more often than squirm.
