    An uplifting immigration story about tackling new experiences with curiosityA little girl and her family are emigrating to a new country. As they say goodbye to their home and move to an unfamiliar place, the girl is full of questions: Will they ever return? What if she doesn't make new friends? Why does she look different than the other kids? Her mother's supportive refrain encourages her to voice her curiosity: It's okay, just ask! Sometimes the answers lead to exciting discoveries. Other times, the answers are unclear, or prompt even more questions. But each time the girl chooses to just ask, she learns more about her community and herself. Partially based on the author's own experience moving her family from the Philippines to Canada, this is a thoughtful, child-centered look at being a newcomer. While exploring the specific experience of immigrants, it also shares a more universal message about speaking up when uncertain or confused. It welcomes readers to ask questions when they're unsure, and approach different people and places with an open mind.

    "Simple, rhyming words delightfully capture the lovable nature and hilarious habits of mischievous kittens. Three city kitties live in an apartment on a busy street. They sit side-by-side in the window, preening and watching the world go by. They make mischief, hiding from a delivery person and playing in a box. They beg for food and get the zoomies, chasing each other up and down the walls, and take a nap. Hints of the humans in the apartment going about their day appear in the background, reversing the ploy of the 'silent' animal sub-plots often seen in the background of picture book illustrations. Vibrant art offers lots to explore on every page"--

    "Join the author of Moto and Me and My Leopard Diary as she spends two wild and action-packed weeks observing and photographing a mob of meerkats. Suzi's diary opens with her arrival on the Kalahari Desert in Botswana, where she and her zoologist assistant, Becky, are welcomed by Motto, a local meerkat habituator, and Villa, a naturalist guide. Over the next action-packed two weeks, Suzi and the team observe a small but mightily busy meerkat mob. Her daily accounts describe the early life of the five meerkat pups being raised by the mob's matriarch and two adult males. The pups grow from tiny creatures who wobble as they walk and are wholly dependent on their adult caretakers, to adolescents who practice killing scorpions for their dinner and have nearly perfected the famous tripod stance meerkats use when on lookout for danger. Along the way, the mob survives a heavy rainfall that floods the plains where they live, as well as manage to avoid becoming the dinner of a hungry eagle hunting them from overhead. They even escape being trampled by a galloping herd of zebras - which Suzi and Becky alsojust escape thanks to Motto and Villa's quick thinking. In addition to her observations about the mob, Suzi's narration seamlessly weaves in information about life in the heart of the Kalahari Desert - from the other wild animals that are native to the area (including a brown hyena mother and cub, an eagle, jackals, a porcupine, and lions) to an afternoon spent with some of the indigenous Ju/'hoasi people who have thrived there for tens of thousands of years. Endmatter includes a Q&A with both Motto and Villa, who play such essential roles in this adventure. Jam-packed with amazing and often adorable photos"--

    An ode to little monsters and the caregivers who love them When the sun goes down, Mummy and Wee Wolf emerge from their coffin to start the day. Wee Wolf loves his mummy. She brushes his unruly fur, brews midnight stew for their lunch, and reads him his favorite Hairy Tales. And whenever Mummy and Wee Wolf have a disagreement, a little boogie helps them forget all their troubles! But taking care of Wee Wolf isn't easy. Wee Wolf's efforts to be a perfectly well-behaved monster often hilariously sabotage Mummy. He interrupts her morning stretches, "helps" her cook by cannonballing into hot stew, and wiggles out of her grasp while she tries to clip his little wolfy toenails. By the end of the night, Wee Wolf notices Mummy becoming a little ... unravelled. But just as Mummy is always there for him, Wee Wolf is there for her--ready to help re-wrap her bandages, toilet paper in hand. This hilarious, highly original picture book plays with the phrase "little monsters" as it explores parent-child relationships. While the bold, detailed illustrations will draw readers in, Wee Wolf's tender, thoughtful moments encourage both empathy and self-awareness. It's a howling good time!

    "It's autumn, and Covenly residents are gathering at the annual fall fair. The three Weird Sisters--Hildegurp, Glubbifer, and Yuckmina--are running a Flying Broom ride for Covenly kids. Nine-year-old Jessica Nibley is overseeing the petting zoo nearby, which includes Jessica's goat, Leona Swapnik's prized chickens, and bats, spiders, and frogs in fancy clothes from the sisters' pet emporium. When a frog hops out of the noisy petting zoo, the sisters and Jessica dash into the chicken coop, hoping to find it there. They don't. And they also discover that their cat, Graymalkin, who was napping in the coop, is missing too, along with Leona's New Hampshire Red chicken. Could it be fowl play? The sisters are ready to solve another mystery. As they search for clues, chaos follows: a chick'n sandwich goes missing; a roller skate is transformed into a roller coaster; an errant spell turns the mayor into a giant frog and a frog into an elegant man; and Cosmo Keene, dressed in a chicken suit, hides and snaps Polaroid pictures, hoping to gather evidence of the sisters' shenanigans. The action culminates in a runaway coaster car whomping into a giant pink puff of cotton candy, just missing Chelsea Oh. In the midst of the havoc, the sisters begin to understand that their spells have created problems for others, and although they don't know how to un-spell, they attempt to make amends: the mayor is human again, and the elegant man reverts to froggy form. But the cat and chicken are still missing, and the only clue to their whereabouts is in Cosmo's photo: a cat's tail sticks out from under a tent. Suspicion falls on Graymalkin--is she a chicken-napper? Luckily, the cat had walked through a puddle of spilled caramel, and a trail of sticky paw prints leads them to the cat, napping near the soft, warm chicken, who is safe and sound, and who had wandered to get away from the wand flashes of the Flying Broom. The day ends with a group ride on a Ferris wheel fashioned out of a pinwheel, and caramel apples for everyone. Full of humorous misunderstanding and hints and phrases from Hamlet, this whimsical mystery reminds readers that actions have consequences that can't always be undone. But we can own up to them, apologize, and make better choices in the future. Dynamic, humorous, and expressive illustrations by Kari Rust are in black and white with roughly two per chapter. End matter includes a recipe for caramel apples."--

A story that explores themes of outdoor discovery and playful curiosity, offering a welcome reminder that beauty often surfaces in small, slow moments, and that change persists even when the world seems still."--

    "THE LITTLE REGENT begins with a short blurb, offering context on the Yoruba tradition of regency: "Among the Yoruba tribe of West Africa, when a king dies without a son, his daughter will rule until the kingmakers choose a new king. These female rulers are called regents." The story begins when Abioye is declared the temporary ruler of her West African village following her father the king's death, much to the chagrin of the village chiefs. At first Abioye is afraid--she is only seven after all and has no idea how to rule. But her mother reminds her of her father's wise words: "those who will rule must first learn to serve." The next day, the little regent abandons her stuffy meetings with the chiefs--where she feels that she isn't serving anyone at all--and wanders about the village, taking in the problems of her people and trying to understand how she might serve them. In the meantime, the chiefs complain that Abioye is a bad ruler who skips her meetings and walks about the village like a commoner. The time comes for the villagers to vote for a new king, but they refuse. With Abioye's help, the village has flourished: the fishers catch more fish, the cooks have clean water, and the children have a place to play while their parents go to the big market. Abioye has proven that she understands what it means to serve her people, and her people demand to keep her. For the first time in the village, a female regent becomes king. This is an empowering princess story that breaks away from Eurocentric tropes and sends the message to all children--regardless of gender--that their voices and actions are valuable and powerful. THE LITTLE REGENT touches on themes of service in leadership, gaining respect rather than demanding it, and gender equality. Yewande sets the tone with a hint of folklore and fable-esque nostalgia and builds a lively and immersive setting with details of West African culture that speak to her own Nigerian heritage. It also ends with a significant message that honouring the legacy of our loved ones for the betterment of ourselves and those around us sometimes means breaking with tradition."--

    "In this poetic picture book, two curious siblings observe the hidden world of a vernal pool: a special kind of puddle habitat that pops up in the spring, dries up by summer, reappears in the fall, freezes over in the winter -- only to come back again in the spring. Linda's buoyant text is nothing short of an anthem for these "now-you-see-me, now-you-don't" wetland habitats, encouraging young naturalists and future water stewards to listen, watch and even wait to witness the seasonal changes of the ever-changing puddle and its inhabitants. And as readers pore over Miki's beautiful and busy cut-paper collages, they will be fascinated to discover many familiar and not-so-familiar creatures that make up the surprising web of interrelationships living in these vital pop-up pools. THE NOISY PUDDLE includes backmatter that introduces relevant vocabulary (for e.g., "ecosystem" and "vernal pool") and answers some anticipated questions by explaining the vernal pool's annual cycle in more detail, as well as its connection to the larger forest ecosystem. Linda worked with several vernal pool experts to review the manuscript for scientific accuracy - she has included their names and affiliations in her acknowledgements."--

    "Heartwarming tales of friendship between a long-haired guinea pig and a naked mole rat in the spirit of Frog and Toad. In the second book in this charming series of graphic novels, three more delightful stories explore themes of friendship, grief, and belonging. These three stories dig deep, showing Otis and Peanut dealing with the death of Pearl, Peanut's sister and Otis's friend. Addressing death in a book for such young kids can seem daunting, but Naseem has tackled it head on, conveying the mix of emotions that accompany the loss of a loved one and what the process of grieving is all about. These stories are about how to remember someone after their gone, and how to keep those memories close. In "The Cake," Otis and Peanut discover that there's always a good reason to eat cake -- even if it's for no reason at all. In "The Dream," Peanut is missing his sister, Pearl, but finds a way to keep her memory close. In "The Collection," Otis and Peanut celebrate old memories and make some new ones. These two endearing characters gently explore deep truths about life and human nature while continuing to help each other figure out their world."--Provided by publisher.
