Three board books about Arctic wildlife by a master illustrator. In these three new board books, Vladyana Krykorka brings the Arctic world to life with her signature illustration style. Each one focuses on a particular aspect of Arctic wildlife -- often showing a mother with her young -- and pairs lovely watercolor paintings with simple and expressive language. Arctic Land introduces young readers to mammals, such as the musk ox and arctic hare; Arctic Sea to marine animals, such as the narwhal and beluga whale; and Arctic Sky to birds, such as swooping owls and graceful, gliding swans. Young readers will love the innovative, sturdy fold-out format, which allows the books to be read over and over or to be hung on a wall as standalone pieces of art. The three books are also available in a boxed set.

With the words of England's great romantic poet as their stepping stone, award-winning poet P.K. Page and celebrated artist Vladyana Krykorka enter the magical, mystical world of a child's imagination in a book that will live in the reader's memory long after the final page has been turned. Handsomely bound and designed for gift giving, A Grain of Sand was originally written for an oratorio by the renowned choral master and composer Dr. Derek Holman and first performed in Toronto during that city's celebration of the new millennium. Vladyana Krykorka's brilliant watercolors join the poet's words in perfect harmony, as ... a child on a beach on a summer's day With time to idle the hours away In the tiniest grain of sand can see A limitless world of mystery

The stories that inspired Antonin Dvorak's enchanting operas Once upon a time, deep in the forests of Bohemia...enchantment was as thick as the trees, and young men and women of all kinds met and fell in love under the spell of the silver moon. Many years later, Czech composer Antonin Dvorak (1841-1904) set some of their stories to music. As the stories came to life on stage, they found an audience in the hearts of grownups and children around the world. Here are three of Dvorak's Bohemian tales, richly told and lovingly illustrated. Meet Rusalka, Bohemia's own little mermaid; and Lidushka, the peasant who danced with a king. Then there is Kate, saved from certain doom by her own bad temper! Just as in all the best fairytales, love suffers and is rewarded in these stories, and a good heart and quick thinking are enough to win the day. Antonin Dvorak's own life had a bit of a fairy tale in it, as readers learn in these pages. His musical talent lifted him from the shopkeeper's life he was born to, up to the heights of international stardom. But his art was always deeply rooted in the folktales and songs of his homeland. Silver Moon celebrates that wellspring of creativity in a new and luminous way.
