For fans of acclaimed author, Joseph Bruchac, a First Nations origin story of how humans acquired fire with the help of the animals.

Imagine a time when humans huddled together to keep from freezing in the winters. A time without fire. Fire is one of the most basic needs for survival.

Ancient stories of how it came to us can be found in virtually every human society and the indigenous cultures of North America are no exception.

However, unlike the stories of other continents, Native American traditional tales almost always seek to both entertain and teach. Also, a holistic relationship between humans and the natural world is stressed in many ways. The wisdom and the assistance of the animals are often crucial.

Such is the case in this Algonkian story of how a boy, with the aid of Fox, stole fire from the deadly monsters who selfishly kept it for themselves. Be ready to both enjoy and learn as you read this vibrantly illustrated telling of First Fire.

From hammers to hand drills to screwdrivers to saws, these fresh, invitingly illustrated poems, each highlighting a different hand tool in the shed, will engage aspiring carpenters and curious kids.

Tools are like an extra set of hands. Tools can make building, creating, and fixing things go smoothly. The right tool for a tricky job can even keep you safe. So put on your safety goggles and watch a parade of hand tools tackle some very special jobs! Smart rhymes by Hope Vestergaard and friendly pictures by David Slonim give young makers a close-up look at common tools and their amazing uses--perfectly suited for both little readers new to the subject and those whose family excursions to the local hardware store are a regular treat.

An innovative and delight-filled picture book that explores the infinite possibilities of each day--from powerhouse creative team Chelsea Lin Wallace and Adam Rex.

A lot will happen today: 22 million people will celebrate birthdays, 55 earthquakes will shake the earth, and 275 million stars will be born.

Yes, quite a lot will happen today. But what will happen to the Day?

Chelsea Lin Wallace and Adam Rex explore the things that could happen on any given day through the perspective of the Day itself. When the Day realizes it's only one of many, it feels insignificant. But as it ticks on, it realizes that every day matters--in the moments, the milestones, and the memories that can make it last a lifetime.

TIMELESS TOPIC: Classic in its charming picture book sensibility but with an entirely fresh take, this book turns a familiar idea--the value of new experiences--on its head. By attempting to measure the many happenings in a day across the entire universe, and considering each day's distinct personality, it offers readers a wonderful opportunity to look at the world a little bit differently.

BITE-SIZE SCIENCE: The book's backmatter holds a fascinating and deeply researched look into what really happens in a single day, all around the world. Eye-opening statistics are paired with sweet prompts to further engage with the ideas, like telling someone a joke to add to the estimated 100 billion bursts of laughter per day or making a paper airplane to join the nearly 94,000 planes taking flight in the real world!

LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES: Teachers and librarians will find great use for this book in connection with time units--facts about time are peppered throughout the story and in the backmatter. The potential for classroom writing activities is boundless.

Perfect for:

• Parents, teachers, and librarians looking for smart, funny kids' books
• Read-aloud for home or classroom engagement
• Readers looking for stories that are equal parts inspiring and humorous
• Young readers who love humor, poetry, and fun facts
