  • The Green Butterfly: A SuperDog Adventure

    Raphael Thierry

    Hardcover (Handprint, Sept. 6, 2007)
    Poor superdog. He may be tied to a pole. He may lead a physically circumscribed life. But that does not mean that is mind is fettered! A witty and understated exchange with a self-absorbed butterfly makes clear that it is one's view of the world that matters. Expressive drawings of a winsome little dog and a know-it-all butterfly, told sparely in delightfully ironic words, make a subtly powerful, zen story about freedom and what it really means.

  • Touch the Sky, My Little Bear

    David Bedford, Jane Chapman

    Hardcover (Hand Print, March 15, 2001)
    Seldom has the caring and the guidance of a mother and the curiosity and trust of a child been so tenderly depicted as in this generously sized and beautiful picture book set in the far off Artic. A young polar bear, just out of infancy, asks his mother, "What is it like to be big?" With infinite patience, his mother shows him what to expect as he grows--how he will one day run like the wind, jump as high as a bird, and dive and swim like a fish. He will be so tall he will almost touch the sky! In the Artic world created by Jane Chapman's subtly hued, glowing paintings, the love between mother and child shines forth.

  • The Conquerors

    David McKee

    Hardcover (Hand Print, Oct. 1, 2004)
    The general of a large and mighty country invades and conquers each of its neighboring countries, one by one. Eventually, all the countries in the world are conquered but one—and that one is so small it doesn't not even have an army. And so, of course, when the day comes that the general is unable to resist invading the small country, the outcome is inevitable. Or is it? David McKee's profound story and delightful childlike pictures send a special message that is all the more effective for framing a quiet plea for peace.

  • Colors

    Sara Anderson

    Board book (Handprint, July 5, 2007)
    Dazzling in its simplicity, exuberant in its palette, Sara Anderson's landmark board book still bursts with a freshness and energy twenty years after it was first published. It's unique graduated page design encourages the youngest child to discover the joy of color, to see the pages grow in size as the patterns of color appear. Colors shows a clarity and assurance perhaps reminiscent of the most jubilant of Matisse's cut paper collage. This is a book which is entirely in its element in a museum shop, but is most at home on the floor or a lap, being paged through, over and over, by young toddlers.
