Baby Born

Baby Born
by Anastasia Suen (Author) and Chih-Wei Chang (Illustrator)
@ Amazon | Bookshop | Lee and Low Books | Overdrive | WorldCat

Booktalk: Follow new babies through each season and each new step of development from birth to first birthday!

This book first came out as a lift-the-flap book. Then it was published as a board book.

For the 20th anniversary (in 2019) it came out as a paperback picture book. . . with MORE pages in the back with questions to encourage conversations between young readers (soon-to-be siblings) and caregivers.

Flurry, Float, and Fly!

Flurry, Float, and Fly!: The Story of a Snowstorm
by Laura Purdie Salas (Author) and Chiara Fedele (Illustrator)
@ Amazon | Bookshop

Booktalk: When the first flakes of snow swirl toward the ground, it almost feels like magic. But in fact, it’s science: a delicate process where cold air and moisture high in the sky work together to create tiny crystals that grow into sparkling snowflakes.

Snippet:

The author, Laura Purdie Salas, is one of my former students.
