Bear in a Bathrobe
by Maddie FrostA delightful new picture book that encourages readers to step outside of their comfort zone with the help of a security blanket and some good pals, from powerhouse creator Maddie Frost.It's wintertime and Bear is ready to stay indoors and cozy up in his bathrobe until spring. His bathrobe is the ultimate indoor experience because it keeps his ears toasty, has pockets for all of his snacking essentials, and allows for maximum relaxation all season long.His friends look like they're having so much fun skating outside, and he could join them if he wanted to, but he's too busy having quality indoor alone time in his bathrobe to even think about going out into the wild. Besides, what if he fell and hurt himself, or slipped through the ice, or skated too far away from home? Winter is clearly the time for hibernation, not outdoor adventures.But when Bear's friends share what makes them feel safe when they tackle new and sometimes scary experiences, Bear might just be ready to venture into the great outdoors and risk falling on the ice.Maddie Frost's new picture book invites readers to courageously tackle new--and slightly frightening--experiences and reminds them that it's not about whether you fall or not, but how you get back up.

Beautiful Noise: The Music of John Cage
by Lisa RogersOpen this unique picture book and meet John Cage, the pioneering, inspiring composer who believed all sound—from the crash of a slamming door to the whirr of a blender to the whoosh of the wind—was music.For John Cage, music was everywhere: in the hum of the refrigerator, the screech of a garbage truck, the patter of the rain. But other people disagreed. They felt that, surely, a pianist on stage must actually play their piano to create music...not just sit there. And in no way was it melodic to turn a musician's mic on and off as they do play their instruments--it was just chaos!John Cage found sound in silence, and knew that all noises were unique. All you had to do was listen to hear it.Told in second person and paired with exciting illustrations as innovative as Cage's music, here is a picture book--perfect for any budding musician--that celebrates the genius of a nonconforming musician who always stayed true to his artistic vision.
