Like So

Like So
by Ruth Forman (Author) and Raissa Figueroa (Illustrator)
@ Amazon* | Bookshop*

Booktalk: Told from Nana’s point of view, this simple, rhyming read-aloud shows how every family’s love is natural and connected to the world around us. Just as the sun loves the day, the moon loves the waves, and the night sky loves the star glow–so is our love for each other: innate, wondrous, and infinite.

Snippet:
I kiss you like so
you kiss me like so

Love Is in the Bear

Love Is in the Bear
by Judith Henderson (Author) and Nahid Kazemi (Illustrator)
@ Amazon* | Bookshop*

Booktalk: Spring is here, and Bear is finally emerging from his hollow to greet his forest friends. Suddenly, he hears beautiful singing coming from above. It’s Bird, practicing for the forest Opera! When Bird tells Bear that she’s auditioning for a duet, Bear decides to try out as well, and asks if he can practice with her. Bird agrees, and as the pair rehearses their song, an unlikely friendship begins.

After the audition, Bird is cast in the opera–but Bear is not. Devastated, Bear returns to his hollow to hide. Bird comes to comfort him and insists that the pair are still a duet, with or without a stage to sing on. Reassured of their close bond, Bear celebrates Bird’s success at the Opera, getting the best seat in the house and quietly singing along with his friend.
