As you turn each page, let these lighthouses lead you on a journey of wonder. From danger to delight, discover what lies beyond the horizon as you follow the rhymes and see where they take you.

I'm in the Band!

Have you ever wondered why joining a band is important? It’s not just about becoming smarter. A band is a welcoming community where everyone can learn the language of music. It’s a place to develop new skills and express yourself through an instrument. In the band, you create music that can be beautiful, sad, fun, or crazy, and you get to share it with others, sparking new ideas.

Whether you’re marching in a parade, playing in a concert, or performing a solo for your grandparents, being in a band lets you communicate your emotions. It’s a team effort where everyone works together to create beauty and art. Being in a band gives you a sense of belonging to something amazing. It’s a place to make lifelong friends, travel, embark on wild adventures, and create incredible memories.

Into the Night

Into the Night is the story of a boy and his dog on a journey into the unknown, and a metaphor for going within, or simply, intuition. Along the way, they have many discoveries, and even find the key to saving humanity. Told in lyrical language, this book is beautifully illustrated and a perfect bedtime story for children.

It's Raining Gnats and Hogs

The weather report is simple and short: It’s raining cats and dogs… then gnats and hogs… even hardhats and corndogs!

And now there is no weather report – at least not the usual kind with maps and numbers and pastel colors and wiggling arrows.

Instead of telling us how much rain and how long it last, the forecast is a rhyming blast for us to enjoy the rain!

Raw Ned

Ned is very dirty. R.W very clean

Ned loves to share and play with others,

R.W can be mean.

Ned rolls down the hills and climbs on rocks,

R.W reads and fold his socks.

People are all different, but that doesn’t make them wrong.

Making friends, it never ends!

We can all get along!

Saving Mr. Toad

This is a story with important messages about listening to others, communicating well and the positive impact that one family can have in a community.

Read along and allow the story to start conversation in your family about ways that each of you can listen better, places in your town that could use some help and communicating well. In this fun tale, told with the use of rhythm and rhyme, we follow along the conversation between a mother and her son over the way they will handle an intruding toad. Mom, who is trying to listen well, has been startled and is a little grossed out by the toad that was mixed in with the weeds that she was trying to throw out. Her son has to decide if he will talk to his mom about caring for the toad; even if he is nervous and would rather not… As the story unfolds, take some time to talk about what you think he should do.

Their curiosity and appreciation for everything they can see, hear, taste, touch and feel, is palpable. This affirming picture book enters a child’s world of bottomless wonder where big feelings are distilled into small words, and where the lilt of rhyme gives rise to shared delight and dreams.
