Expressive text and art tell the story of the life cycle of trees as it has never been told before — in reverse. Here’s a poetic depiction of the life cycle of trees, told one step at a time, based on newly researched information. In simple but evocative text, each step is introduced with “Before . . . ,” making for a rhythmic telling. For example, “Before we stood tall, we clothed ourselves in bark and crowned ourselves in leaves, waving eagerly at the sun.” In a unique twist, the book highlights the underground network of roots and fungus that connects the forest. Trees and their cycle of life have never been more beautifully — or more lovingly — celebrated.

The story of a volcano’s eruption, as it’s never been told before! Here’s a step-by-step story of a volcanic eruption — from the volcano’s point of view! Readers meet the volcano as it placidly slumbers. But then, hot magma moves into a chamber beneath it. Steam and gas spew out. The magma and gases rise up, ready to escape. Finally, the volcano shouts, “I’m awake!” as lava, hot rocks, and billows of ash erupt out of its vents with a roar. Hiss, gurgle, sputter, growl! Who knew being a volcano could be so exciting? A perfect pick for budding volcanologists — or any kid who can’t resist a good kaboom!

This fun, informational picture book expertly pairs poetry and science to explain how a cloud experiences the water cycle. Here’s an innovative story about the water cycle – told by a cloud! The cloud describes the process in lyrical prose, complemented by side commentary from a clever bird who fills in the science facts. First, the cloud soaks up moisture, gathering “steam from a cup of tea” and “vapors from salty seas.” Then, it becomes full and heavy: its “soggy edges bulge.” Finally, it BURSTS, creating a rainstorm, punctuated by thunder and lightning. Until, at last, it’s spent, “frizzled, drizzled, drained,” leaving only a rainbow. A companion to Kaboom! A Volcano Erupts, Kersplash! A Cloud Bursts is a perfect pick for both interactive science lessons and lively read-alouds!

A beautiful exploration of how animals face the challenges of winter. When the autumn days grow shorter and temperatures cool, animals prepare for winter. The hiders find someplace to rest and wait for spring, huddled under the ground or snuggled in a sheltered spot. The seekers migrate to new locations with milder weather and better food sources. And the finders keep warm and fed by adapting to the harsh conditions. Every creature knows just what to do to survive winter — following an ingenious plan that’s just right for them! The perfect book to curl up with on a snowy day. Readers will be transported through the magic of the seasons alongside the animals.
