New in Shopify!
New in Shopify this week, you’ll find MORE Children’s Picture Books! In The Long Journey of the Little Seed by Annie Reiner, children can drift on the wind with a little seed as it soars over mountains and treetops, seeing clouds that look like a man and a hat, a fluffy dog, and a big fish.
In Children’s Nonfiction, Women in Science: Temple Grandin by Ruby Cardona tells the story of Grandin's research into animal behavior and her inventions in farm technology which have changed the way livestock are treated all over the world. Grandin has also been a hard-working campaigner for autism awareness.
The Scraps Book: Notes from a Colorful Life
by Lois Ehlert
The renowned Caldecott Honoree and illustrator of Chicka Chicka Boom Boom provides a moving, intimate, and inspiring inside look at her colorful picture book career.
Lois Ehlert always knew she was an artist. Her parents encouraged her from a young age by teaching her how to sew and saw wood and pound nails, and by giving her colorful art supplies. They even gave her a special spot to work that was all her own.
Today, many years and many books later, Lois takes readers and aspiring artists on a delightful behind-the-scenes tour of her books and her book-making process. Part fascinating retrospective, part moving testament to the value of following your dreams, this richly illustrated picture book is sure to inspire children and adults alike to explore their own creativity.
