When rain comes to the parched African savanna, the animals use all their senses to track the storm. The porcupine smells rain in the air. The zebras see lightning. The baboons hear thunder. The rhino feels the first drops. And the lion tastes the cool water. For a time, the grasslands abound with new green leaves, juicy fruits, and fresh pools of water. But soon the hot sun dries out the land, and the animals must again wait for the next big rain.Manya Stojic's picture book debut is as satisfying and refreshing as the rain she describes. With paintings that are exuberant and saturated with color and a simple text that rolls off the tongue with pleasure and ease, here is a book parents and teachers will enjoy sharing again and again.

Moose, bear, fox, and hare frolic in a snowy, glowy winter wonderland from the creator of Rain. Winter is coming to the north woods and the animals are all getting ready for the first big snow. The owl hears the wind whistle, but the moose sees the first flakes. Now the geese know it is time to fly south, and the bear knows it is time for sleep. Then it snows and snows and snows. Every flake is different. All of them are hushed. Both the fox and the hare will forage through the long winter–but now the hare’s coat matches the white snow and the fox’s fur stands out like a fiery beacon.Manya Stojic’s lovely evocation of a world made white will help cheer young readers along until–at last!–the snow melts and spring returns to the north.

“Far away in the deep blue sea . . .”For one little girl this is how all stories begin. They are family stories of her mother’s childhood on a small island with a pebbly shore. And now the little girl is going to that island. It is her first visit, but in all the ways that matter she is going home. Acclaimed author-illustrator Manya Stojic shows us how shared stories and memories bind a family together. And we witness the magical moment when this youngest member of the family makes the stories her own.
