CHILDREN’S LITERATURE
The Sun is a Shine
The Sun is a Shine is a gentle and poetic board book about weather systems across the world. Young readers will enjoy meeting children from around the globe and experiencing the phenomena of the sky as each child thanks Mother Earth for bringing the sun, wind, rain, snow, lightning and thunder to them. Magical illustrations enhance evocative text in a delightful blend of cultural diversity, geography, science, rich language and gratitude.

In the Red Canoe
In the Red Canoe follows fish and herons, turtles and dragonflies, beaver lodges and lily pads as the child-narrator and her loving grandpa travel through nature. Baby ducklings ride their mama’s back; an osprey rises with a silver fish clutched in her talons; a loon cries in a star-flecked night. Rhythmic, rhyming quatrains carry the story forward in clean paddle strokes of evocative imagery.

Ms. Arithmetickle loves numbers. She loves numbers more than chocolate marshmallow banana splits. She loves numbers more than basketfuls of poodle puppies. She loves numbers more than almost anything.
