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!

The Brain Storm

The Brain Storm
by Linda Ragsdale (Author) and Claudio Molina (Illustrator)

Booktalk: Follow along in this wordless book as a mood pesters a young boy and ends up rubbing off on all those around him. After a frustrating day under his version of a little dark cloud, he discovers that ultimately working through your feelings and emotions begins with you. The wordless pages inspire readers to “read” the story as they apply their own interpretations to the young boy’s plight.
