Little Wing Learns to Fly
by Calista Brill (Author) and Jennifer A. Bell (Illustrator)

Booktalk: No matter how hard Little Wing tries to fly, he always flops . . . until one day when his fluttering takes him above the clouds and far away—maybe too far away! Lost in the sky, Little Wing has to find his way home. But thanks to a special someone, he learns the importance of dragon rules. And with a helping wing to guide him, Little Wing can be flip, flop, fearless!

Snippet: “Today’s the day,” I told my mama. “Today I am going to fly.”

Just be careful, Little wing,” Mama said. You don’t want to get hurt . . . again.”

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?”
