Norbert’s Big Dream
by Lori Degman (Author) and Marco Bucci (Illustrator)

Booktalk: Norbert is a pig with a dream. It doesn’t matter if the other farm animals snicker behind his back, Norbert has always dreamed of swimming the English Channel. He’s been preparing and training and finally he’s ready for the big swim! But where exactly is the English Channel?!

Snippet:“I’m ready,” he said. “Which way to the English Channel?”

Unfortunately, this was something Norbert hadn’t considered.

Is it behind the barn? Nope.

Over the hill? Nope.

Around the bend? No channel.

“How can I cross the English Channel if I can’t even find it?”

Bring Me a Rock!
by Daniel Miyares (Author / Illustrator)

Booktalk: When a power-hungry grasshopper king wants a throne to loom over his bug subjects, he summons each of them to “bring me a rock!” One by one, the bugs bring him the biggest rocks they can carry, but one little bug can contribute only a very small pebble. The grasshopper king shuns the little bug. But when his throne is in danger of tipping, that little bug might be the only one who can save him.
