The Sun Is Kind of a Big Deal
by Nick SelukA hilarious nonfiction picture book from the New York Times bestselling author and creator of Awkward Yeti.Oh hey, guess what? The Sun never stops working to keep things on Earth running smoothly. (That's why it's been Employee of the Month for 4.5 billion years.) So why does the Sun get to be the center of attention? Because it's our solar system's very own star! This funny and factual picture book from Awkward Yeti creator Nick Seluk explains every part of the Sun's big job: keeping our solar system together, giving Earth day and night, keeping us warm, and more. In fact, the Sun does so much for us that we wouldn't be alive without it. That's kind of a big deal. Each spread features bite-sized text and comic-style art with sidebars sprinkled throughout. Anthropomorphized planets (and Pluto) chime in with commentary as readers learn about the Sun. For instance, Mars found someone's rover. Earth wants the Sun to do more stuff for it. And Jupiter just wants the Sun's autograph. Funny, smart, and accessible, The Sun Is Kind of a Big Deal is a must-have!

by Tony JohnstonIt is Pa who decides to leave New Hampshire. "Gather your necessaries," he tells his family. So they pack up pots and pans, food, and farm tools. Ma hates to leave her home. Still, she says, "Gather your loved things." So they take a book and seeds and their dolls. "Good-bye," the youngest calls. Then they are gone. With the necessaries clanking tink-tink, tonk-tonk, and wagon wheels creaking, they make their way. They meet other families, and Ma hears stories that cause new dreams to pull her heart, too. But the dreams must share the trek with tears. Tears for the days without rain, then tears for the bullet rain that comes, for the swelling rivers that carry their cow and chickens away, for the graves they pass. The family keeps its hopes alive by singing songs: storm songs, wheel-fixing songs, songs for going on. Johnston's graceful story gives readers a strong feeling for one family's struggle and accomplishment on the westward journey to a new home.
