ALL THE LOST THINGS

Olive is not your ordinary girl. And one day when this spunky young lady decides to go for a walk in her grumpy, too-busy city, she finds some extraordinary things.

Kelly Canby was born in London, England, but has lived in Australia since the grand old age of three, which is probably about the same age she started playing with pencils and crayons. And it was probably only a few years after that when she decided that playing with pencils and crayons was something she wanted to do for the rest of her life! This is Kelly’s debut children’s picture book.

MINA’S WHITE CANVAS

When young artist Mina looks up at the cold winter sky, she is struck with an idea. And as she draws with her crayon, something magical begins. Her canvas expands to the snowy world beyond — a world in which Mina uses her creativity to help others, forge new friendships, and make memories to warm the heart for seasons to come.

Hyeon-Ju Lee is a young author and illustrator from Korea who brims with talent. This is her debut children’s picture book, for which she garnered an Opera Prima Mention for the Bologna Ragazzi Award 2012, an honor given to new authors and illustrators for the ”best designed book” worldwide.

NO YETI YET

It’s a snowy, blowy, wintry day — just perfect for a yeti hunt! Or so thinks big brother. But younger brother is not as convinced. Questions abound: Have you ever seen a yeti? Is a yeti strong? Can a yeti run fast?

Children will love trying to find the yeti in the pictures as the boys continue on their quest.

Mary Ann Fraser wrote and illustrated her first picture book in the second grade — which received critical acclaim and a starred review from Mom and Dad. She graduated from UCLA and then went on to spend a year abroad studying at England’s Exeter College of Art and Design. Since then, she has gone on to write and illustrate more than 60 books for children, winning accolades along the way — including School Library Journal’s ”Best Book of the Year” and American Booksellers’ ”Pick of the List.” She currently resides in sunny southern California, but can often be found in colder climates searching high and low for yetis.

We are always on the lookout for great new books to enjoy in our house! The three books we received from Peter Pauper Press did NOT disappoint. First of all, they are absolutely GORGEOUSLY illustrated- I seriously cannot get over how beautiful they are. And to top it off the content in the stories are wonderful. We truly loved them all, but I think my favorite is All the Lost Things. It’s so sweet. Each of these books would make a great gift, and a great addition to any home or classroom library! Be sure to check out their website for TONS of other great books and materials!
