Extra Yarn by Mac Barnett
It looks like an ordinary box of yarn… but is it?
This book reads like an old school fairy tale or legend. A magical story spun with quirkiness and quiet humor. Annabelle finds some extra yarn in a box, so she knits, knits, and knits sweaters and more for everyone in and around her town. She gives and gives! Decorates and decorates!
Wednesday by Anne Bertier
Wednesday is a sweet story about two best friends, Little Round and Big Square. But it's also about what it is to really play imaginatively with another. Every Wednesday, our two friends get together to play. Sometimes they have some tough moments, like all true friends, but they mostly have the best time that two friends can ever have together! Illustrated in a strong, two-color graphic style, Wednesday has strong appeal for the youngest readers as well as for parents and teachers.
The Night Gardener by Terry Fan and Eric Fan
This stunning picture book from brothers Terry and Eric Fan is with whimsy and creativity! One day, William discovers that the tree outside his window has been sculpted into a wise owl. In the following days, more topiaries appear, and each one is more beautiful than the last. Soon, William’s gray little town is full of color and life. And though the mysterious night gardener disappears as suddenly as he appeared, William—and his town—are changed forever.
With breathtaking illustrations and spare, sweet text, this masterpiece about enjoying the beauty of nature is sure to become an instant classic.
