Booktalk: When Sukie’s family moves and she has to start at a new school, she feels shy and lonely at first. But soon she learns that receiving small acts of kindness–someone saying hi, or saving a hoop for her–makes her feel braver, and that passing friendliness along is a good feeling, too. Before long, Sukie, Joe, Poppy, and Stan are all becoming friends!

Now that Night is Near

Now that Night is Near
by Astrid Lindgren (Author) and Marit Tornqvist (Illustrator)

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.
