Trees: A Rooted History

Trees: A Rooted History
by Piotr Socha (Author / Illustrator), Wojciech Grajkowski (Author), and Anna Burgess (Translator)

Booktalk: Go beyond the basics and explore the important roles trees play in our ecosystem, take an up-close-and-personal look at the parts of trees (from roots to leaves), and unpack the cultural impact of trees from classification systems (like family trees) to art forms (like bonsai trees). Part botany, part history, part cultural anthropology!

Scratchie

Scratchie: A Touch-and-Feel Cat-Venture
by Maria Putri (Author / Illustrator)

Booktalk: Join Scratchie the Cat to scratch touch-and-feel elements throughout this board book. Rough door mats, grainy wooden tables, paper towels, cardboard boxes, and more give readers a claws-on experience as they innocently wreck Scratchie’s owner’s house (just like real cats)!

Snippet:
Hi there, human!
I’m Scratchie the Cat.
And just like my name
I like to scratch stuff
to keep my claws
super sharp.

Let’s scratch
things together!
