Now that Night is Near

Now that Night is Near
by Astrid Lindgren (Author) and Marit Tornqvist (Illustrator)
@ Amazon | Bookshop | IndieBound

Booktalk: It’s bedtime, and across the land everyone is settling down to sleep. The cows are lying down in their fields, the rabbits are snug in their burrows, and the birds are resting on their branches. Except someone isn’t quite ready to close their eyes just yet…

A curious cat gently wanders through midsummer fields, forests and dusky Swedish landscapes as the sun slowly sets. When will he be ready to sleep?

Snippet: Even cats are going to sleep, as bedtime’s nearly here.

I Am Loved

@ Amazon | Bookshop | IndieBound

Booktalk: Pakak is in a new foster home, with new people, new food, and new smells. Feeling alone and uncertain, Pakak finds comfort in a secret shared with him by his anaanattiaq, his grandmother, and in the knowledge that he is loved no matter how far away his family may be.

Snippet: At first, I wasn’t so sure about living with a new family. I didn’t know the kids that I was going to live with.
