Grandparents and grandchildren share something special everywhere. Here the universal story of a grandmother and her granddaughter is made unique as it reflects their Hawaiian life and style.

A wise and loving mother reassures two brothers that each has a special place in her heart. Barbara Joosse’s heartwarming text is beautifully complemented by Mary Whyte’s engaging watercolor illustrations.

This story of an Inuit child testing the limits of her independence, and a mother who reassuringly proves that a parents love is unconditional and everlasting. Beautiful illustrations of Alaska and the characters convey the cultural richness of this timeless story.

Girl and her friend Dragon long to visit Far Away. Their adventure takes them across the seas where they rescue a small cat from Bad Hats returning comfortably Home again. Imaginative, gauzy illustrations complement the rhythmic text (with echoes of Edward Lear).

An absurd but satisfying fantasy based on Eudora Welty’s only children’s work, is presented in lively music and narration.
