I’ll Always Come Back to You

Booktalk: What happens when someone you love heads out the door? When a mother goes out to work and her daughter stays behind, Mom reassures her child that nothing can keep her from coming back home again. Mom promises that she would even ride on a whale or fight off a passel of bears, if that’s what it takes to return to her child! Her daughter might have to wait with Gramma or a friend at home. Whether their time apart has been long or short, the family will be together again.

Snippet:
I might have to visit a very sick friend,
or rescue a sinking canoe…

…but I will always, always, ALWAYS
come
back
to
you!

The Monster in the Bathhouse

Booktalk: The bathhouse is always busy the day before Nowruz. Everyone wants to be clean for the new year! As three boys enjoy their day at the bathhouse with their fathers, they hear a strange sound and decide to investigate. There’s a big mess, and they hear the sound of someone–or something–large splashing in the baths. What could it be? An unruly guest? A four-legged intruder? Or perhaps…a monster?

Nowruz marks the first day of spring and is celebrated on the day of the astronomical vernal equinox.
