The Very, Very Far North

The Very, Very Far North
by Dan Bar-el (Author) and Kelly Pousette (Illustrator)

Booktalk: In the Very, Very Far North, past the Cold, Cold Ocean and just below the hill that looks like a baby whale, you’ll find Duane and his friends.

Duane is a sweet and curious young bear who makes friends with everyone he meets–whether they’re bossy, like Major Puff the puffin, or a bit vain, like Handsome the musk ox, or very, very shy, like Boo the caribou. For these arctic friends, every day is a new adventure!

Bread for Words

Bread for Words: A Frederick Douglass Story
by Shana Keller (Author) and Kayla Stark (Illustrator)

Booktalk: Frederick Douglass knew where he was born but not when. He knew his grandmother but not his father. And as a young child, there were other questions, such as Why am I a slave? Answers to those questions might have eluded him but Douglass did know for certain that learning to read and to write would be the first step in his quest for freedom and his fight for equality.
