Books with author C. A. Nobens

(Mom's Choice Gold Award Recipient) Full of winter fun, Snow Day! is a picture book to delight young children and the adults reading it, as well as being a story carried along from poem to poem like a chapter book that will engage and entertain primary and middle school readers. Plus, it's a wonderful poetry forms learning tool! An index and guide to each poem form's meter, rhyme, and theme follows the story. Some forms are simple enough that kids will be able to try writing them, right away. More complex forms introduce the concept of writing poetry as a great brain game! Cheery, evocative, poignant, and hilarious by page-turns, CA Nobens' illustrations perfectly capture the magic of a snow day.

Witch Washday is a quirky little tale! Every Wednesday is witch washday. Mitchie Witch and her kitten familiar, Kitschy, wake up and pitch in with gusto. Having magical powers is a distinct advantage in getting the job done! Mitchie and Kitschy have some extraordinary laundry methods, too: disembodied zombie hands for "hand-laundering" delicates, a fire-breathing dragon to heat up Mitchie's iron, flying carpet-style towels and more! Whimsical, bright illustrations by the Mom's Choice Honoring Excellence Gold Seal Award winning author are lively and fun. Witch world and all the characters in it are charming and a little oddball. And please note that there is diversity among them! Just as mortals are all basically shades and tints of tan, the witches and witchlets in the book have different colors of green skin and a variety of hairdos. There is humor enchanting the illustration on every page.
