New in Shopify!
New in Shopify this week, we’re listing LOTS of Children’s Picture Books!!! Painting for Peace in Ferguson, by Carol Swartout Klein, shares the true story of the hundreds of artists and citizens who came together in the face of violence and darkness to create beautiful images of hope and peace.
And in Newspaper Hats by Phil Cummings, Georgie visits her Grandpa at the retirement home where he lives, but he doesn’t always remember who she is. Georgie sits with him as he sifts painstakingly through his remaining memories, finding points of commonality and companionship, until they come to a memory of her—and of newspaper hats, which Grandpa still remembers how to make!
Ask Albert Einstein
by Lynne Barasch
In 1952, April is seven years old and adores her big sister, Annabel. But Annabel is failing her math class and desperately needs help with a tough math problem. April decides to write to Albert Einstein, asking him to give a hand.
While she waits for his reply, April imagines everything he might be doing instead of working on math. Could he be riding his bike? Or working in his garden? Maybe he's playing his violin. But finally, Einstein sends the girls a clue to solving the puzzle.
