When Sierra arrives at the airport, she expects to take her pet pig on the plane. Reading through the alphabetized “no-fly” list, Sierra realizes they won’t be flying that day. With some creative thinking, however, she might get a pig to fly after all! #DVpit #pb

Valerie collects clues about people’s faces, actions & words. Like puzzle pieces, they fit together, helping her make sense of the world. When the pieces get “jumbled”, Valerie is left to put them back together so she doesn’t feel quite so lost. #DVpit #PB #ND

IF YOU COULD SLEEP ANYWHERE…
would you sleep in a tree, on a rocky cliff, or in a cave? This lyrical bedtime book pairs animals & their unique sleeping places with human families across the world. Perhaps they are more alike than different! #DVpit #PB

In ROCK STAR, Diamond searches for rocks & fossils in her uncle’s creek. She can identify anything from gastropods to graptolites. But, when Diamond finds a piece that is museum quality, the suggestion of donating “her” treasure leads to some BIG feelings. #DVpit #PB #STEM

Penny’s unique prototypes (adaptable umbrellas, indestructible dog toys & more!) are promising. However, when Penny believes she needs to use an inventor’s kit to be successful at the school’s Invention Convention, she struggles to make the “perfect” prototype. #DVpit #PB #STEM

The sister-brother duo of Astronaut Girl and Starfish Baby are the best helpers a parent could ask for, at least in their minds. So when Mommy gets sick, they know just how to help and—for better or worse—won’t let anything get in their way of making her feel better.

Lacey hopes to make her friends feel special with secret, handmade valentines, but when students begin to notice unintended clues, she needs to figure out how to stay anonymous. With a hint of mystery similar to Jonathan London’s, Duck and Hippo-The Secret Valentine.
