Albert is embarrassed by his difference despite his parents reminding him that he is perfect. After an adventure in the woods Albert learns to love and appreciate his huge feet! This book has advanced vocabulary (it's always important to read books with vocabulary that is above a child's level), a sweet story that teaches about differences, a problem, and a solution. I will read this book with my students." - Olympia School District "What a delightful picture book! The illustrations are beautiful and the soft, muted colors and lines make it very soothing. The story is one that many children (and adults) will relate to. It’s a valuable resource for children who need a little help appreciating what makes them different." - Seminole County Public Library "I enjoyed this book. It was a sweet story about learning to love who you are even when you are different. I really liked that Albert's family and friend encouraged Albert to see himself the way they did, perfectly and beautifully made." - Grant Public Library

Chicago Review Press The Astrochimps: America's First Astronauts
Book SynopsisMeet Ham, Minnie, Enos, Roscoe, Tiger, and Rocky. In 1958, when the United States was scrambling to catch up to the Soviets after their successful launch of Sputnik, they didn’t turn to Mercury Seven astronauts Alan Shepherd and John Glenn. Rather, they began bringing chimpanzees to Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico for a top-secret program. The goal? To do everything America needed to make space travel safe for humans and beat the Soviets. Based on extensive research and interviews with living members of the team of veterinarians, handlers, and psychologists who worked with the animals, The Astrochimps offers a fresh perspective on animal intelligence and the rise of the space age. Detailed back matter provides resources, space mission stats, and calls to action for young readers to honor the astrochimps’ legacy and advocate for the humane treatment of chimpanzees today.Vividly depicted at work, at play, in and out of spacecrafts, these chimps played an under-appreciated part in helping the United States win the Space Race.Table of ContentsCast of Characters Preface Chapter One: Wild Lives Chapter Two: Astrochimps in Space Chapter Three: Racing to Deeper Space Chapter Four: Battle of the Astronauts Chapter Five: Astrochimps on the Moon?

Familius LLC He Leads: Mountain Gorilla, the Gentle Giant
Book SynopsisHe is the king. He leads his family, his troop. His silver back shows his age and experience. He guides them through thick forests and steep mountains. The majestic mountain gorillas live in family groups, led by a powerful silverback. Juxtaposing the apes’ awesome strength and surprising gentleness, He Leads tells the story of family loyalty and love. With stunning, lifelike illustrations and facts on each page, this beautiful picture book is a monument to these endangered gentle giants.Trade Review"The mighty silverback gorilla is king, but he’s also a gentle giant. In straightforward text, the opening spreads explain that a dominant male in a troop of gorillas “leads his family.” He “guides them through thick forests and steep mountains” in central Africa to suitable feeding spots. It is up to him to protect them as they rest, groom, socialize, and play in the middle of the day. Sometimes, “if a member of his troop misbehaves, he will display his dominance,” but mostly he is gentle, dignified, and nurturing, especially when he plays with the infant gorillas. Although an adult male mountain gorilla can grow up to 6 feet tall and weigh more than 400 pounds, the dominant silverback is actually a “shy” creature who is “content to lounge and eat most of the day.” With one to three pithy sentences of main text on each double-page spread and longer sidebar text providing additional fascinating facts, this inspiring story gives insight into these imposing yet graceful apes as well as the family dynamics of gorillas, the environment in which they live, and how their habits closely parallel those of human families. Shimokawara’s beautifully detailed watercolor illustrations portray these intelligent creatures with great realism and empathy. An important resource for building appreciation and awareness of a vulnerable animal species. (bibliography) (Informational picture book. 3-8)"- Kirkus Review"Detailed illustrations are the highlight of this title. Basic text, with additional facts added at the bottom of each spread, share the world of the mountain gorilla. A male silverback is the central figure in the text that introduces the species and gives further information about this fascinating relative of human beings. While not lengthy enough for report-writing, the factual information would make for a solid starting point to student research. The illustrations are full of texture and emotion connecting readers to the creature in a way that honors the mountain gorilla’s strength and dignity. No back matter other than a list of sources is included. VERDICT The illustrations are visually appealing and the text does its job serviceably. For an introduction to the species, this title would make a fine addition to collections needing a resource on the mountain gorilla." –John Scott, School Library Journal
