New Releases by Pat Zietlow Miller

The adorable, relatable bedtime story of a baby bear who can’t fall asleep, from the award-winning author of Sophie’s Squash, Pat Zietlow Miller, and debut artist Jean Kim. Every baby bear knows the warmth of spring only comes after sleeping through the cold of winter. For little cub Elliott, however, it’s not that easy. First, something tickles his nose, rousing him from a dream, and then every shadow, noise, and passing thought keeps him up. No amount of fluffing of his pillow or tossing and turning will help. He even tries nudging his mom out of her slumber! But he’s…Still. Wide. Awake. Artist Jean Kim infuses Pat Zietlow Miller’s charming text with cozy warmth and playful humor. This beautiful picture book will be a favorite bedtime story for children, adults, and baby bears alike!

C''est le premier jour d''école et Sophie n''en mène pas large. Tous ces enfants qui parlent, qui rient, qui bondissent ! Heureusement, elle est venue accompagnée de ses deux fidèles amies courges, Béa et Bonnie. Elles sont nettement moins intimidantes que les nouveaux camarades de Sophie ! A partir de 5 ans.

Growing up in the segregated town of Clarksville, Tennessee, in the 1960s, Alta''s family cannot afford to buy her new sneakers--but she still plans to attend the parade celebrating her hero Wilma Rudolph''s three Olympic gold medals.

On her very first day of school, Sophie is reluctant to make friends with the other children, preferring to play with two squash she grew in her garden--but when a particularly persistent boy named Steven gives her a packet of seeds as an apology for accidentally ripping her picture, she realizes that it just takes time to grow a friend.
