• Dream Submarine by CHARLOTTE GUNNUFSON. Glide through the ocean with a young child in her cozy little submarine! See how marine animals brush their teeth, put on pajamas (by shifting colors to better blend in), and tuck themselves into sponge beds. Let the Dream Submarine whisk you away!
• Hope and the Sea by ANDREW HACKET. As Hope huddles on the shore, feeling big feelings of sadness, Sea approaches. First a gentle wave, then a misty spray, followed by the toss of a seashell, and a race along the shoreline. With each overture from Sea, Hope’s heart opens just a bit more, until finally her sadness melts away into the sea!
• Sparrow Loves Birds by MURRY BURGESS. Sparrow sets out for a day of birding, where she watches, listens, and identifies the many types of birds around her through their colors, songs, and movement. Using her notebook and markers, Sparrow records all the birds she sees on her walk. What bird will she see next?
• A Family Tree by STACI LOLA DROUILLARD. Grandma’s garden was not just any garden. It was where a spruce tree, only as tall as baby Francis, reached her roots into the soil and stretched her branches toward the sky. But when Grandma and Grandpa decide to move away, Francis wants to take the tree with them — can they?
