My Wild Cat
by Isabelle Simler (Author / Illustrator)

Booktalk: A merciless hunter, an unrivaled expert in stealth and deception–a cat is no ordinary pet! Sure, he may look harmless as he snoozes on the sofa, or under the rug, or on top of the radiator. Sure, he may seem sweet as he snuggles a stuffed animal, but don’t let that fool you! When you least expect it, he’ll pounce . . .

Snippet: At times, my fierce hunter goes on the attack. *

*From the tips of its whiskers to the bottom of its chin, a cat is very sensitive to vibrations, which allows it to detect changes in air pressure and sense when obstacles are nearby.

I’m Gonna Push Through!
by Jasmyn Wright (Author) and Shannon Wright (Illustrator)

Booktalk: Inspired by a mantra written for her third-grade students, this call to “push through” is an invitation to young readers to announce their own power and to recognize and reaffirm that of others, regardless of setbacks. These empowering words not only lift children up, but show them how to lift themselves up and seize their potential.
