Making Art by Diana Ejaita
Making Art
by Diana Ejaita

A celebration of the many ways we make art, spanning mediums, geography, and resources! From found objects to sidewalk chalk, from homemade instruments to breakdancing, from building with blocks to molding clay, art is natural and healing. Readers will be encouraged to create anything, anywhere, with any materials. This deceptively simple and stunningly composed picture book offers children a sense of what art can be, and the ways in which it adds beauty to our lives.
Just Another Perfect Day by Jillian Harris
Just Another Perfect Day
by Jillian Harris

A family-focused picture book about an imperfect family and a day of catastrophes that ends on a high note around the dinner table. Alarm not going off? Check. Dogs tracking mud into the house? Check. Spilled coffee? Check. Wrong lunch, splattered paint, runaway lawn mower? Check, check, CHECK. Everything that could go wrong does on this no-good day! But even when a dinner fiasco strikes, this family knows how to turn their frowns upside down.
