My Hands
A wonderous exploration of all the amazing things we can do with our hands -- perfectly pitched for the youngest of readers. With accessible graphic illustrations, artist/designer Nejib takes us on a tour of the many things we can do with our hands and how we use them to express ourselves with a range of emotions. From saying hello to waving goodbye; from walking the dog to catching a ball; from sowing seeds or playing the piano to juggling balls or picking one's nose; this delightful book is a celebration of what our hands are for and how essential they are throughout the day. Splashes of bright color add excitement and interest to the high-contrast black-and-white art. Children will appreciate the light touches of humor too, as they develop a new appreciation for hands and explore all the verbs and phrases presented on each page. The smaller trim size is just right for little hands to explore on their own or with an adult at their side. My Hands can also be used as part of the early years' science and language arts curricula with school age children.

Letters from My Tooth Fairy
One special rite of passage in childhood is the loss of the first baby tooth. For many children it's an exhilarating time, while for others the trauma of the first "gap" is cause for mortification. And the journey of losing those baby teeth is not a speedy one--it lasts for nearly six years! In Letters From My Tooth Fairy, Natalie and her devoted tooth fairy exchange letters, asking and answering questions about some of childhood's most important moments. From the loss of her first tooth as a first grader to losing her last two baby teeth as a confident eleven-year-old, Natalie's early milestones, including bad school pictures and best friend troubles, are lovingly told through this epistolary relationship. Readers of all ages--those with baby teeth and those years beyond--will cheer for Natalie as she experiences the highs and lows of this time of life. Energetic, colorful artwork perfectly captures the magic of this toothsome tale, making us all wish for our very own tooth fairy.

Friend on Freedom River
In 1850 the Detroit River was a major track along the Underground Railroad -- the last step to freedom. The journey across the river was dangerous, especially in winter and especially for a 12-year-old boy. When Louis's father left him in charge of the farm he offered his son this advice, "If you don't know what to do, just do what you think I would have done." Louis relies upon his father's words of wisdom when a runaway slave and her two children come looking for safe passage. In the second title in our Tales of Young Americans series Gloria Whelan -- author of National Book Award winning Homeless Bird -- beautifully creates a suspenseful coming-of-age story while illuminating a difficult time in America's past. Ms. Whelan's narrative again shows the human spirit will forever shine brightly in dark times. Freedom River - part of our Young Americans series - will quickly become a favorite for its important message and look at history from a youngster's eye. Artist Gijsbert van Frankenhuyzen - a Sleeping Bear Press favorite - treats the material as only he can. Each illustrated page demonstrates the same mastery and devotion to his craft as the young heroes he brings to life.
