The Legend of Sea Glass

The Legend of Sea Glass
by Trinka Hakes Noble (Author) and Doris Ettlinger (Illustrator)

Booktalk: This original legend explains the origin of sea glass, attributing it to the tears of mermaids, weeping for lives lost at sea.

Snippet: Long ago there was a time when men did not sail the seven seas. Nor did explorers navigate the wide deep oceans in tall ships, searching for distant lands. Even fisherman stayed in shallow water, close to shore.

Playground

Playground
by Mies van Hout (Author / Illustrator)

Booktalk: Two friends take a fun, fantastical trip to the playground and you can follow along by tracing the maze on each page. Climb through the trees, find the way across the crocodile-infested river, and bushwhack through the blackberries, feel your way through the dark cave, escape from the monster, and slide into safety on your way to the jungle gym.

Snippet: First, we’ll run through the dunes.
Which path should we take?
