Tilbury House,U.S. Ana and the Sea Star
Book SynopsisThis beautiful picture book celebrates the power of imagination and an appreciation of the natural world.Trade Review"Hogan has in the view of this writer entered the sacred pantheon of books worthy of Caldecott attention with the quietly powerful and sensory Ana and the Sea Star. That Roelfs’s life-affirming story, told with poetic grace was the springboard makes the completed work all that more distinguished....There is an acute literary kinship between McCloskey’s unforgettable sensory immersion and Ana and the Sea Star, a work that similarly places youthful wishes front and center during the most formative years. Young readers are treated to an illustrated glossary featuring the sea creatures encountered in the text along with a four or five sentence engaging description of each. Making the connection of human to animal life is a similar showcasing of Ana, defined as a homo sapiens, a vertebrate like some of the others, but most notably the youngest species of them all and one with the unique power of imagination. " -- Sam Juliano - Wonders in the Dark"When Ana and her papa discover a sea star during their walk on the beach, Ana wants to take it home. Papa helps her understand that the sea star is alive and must go back to the ocean. He then consoles her by painting pictures with words that describe the sea star's home under the sea. When Ana gets home, she tells her mother about the sea star using Papa's technique. Hogan's painterly and realistic illustrations take viewers to the beach and under the sea. Her depictions of the natural world evoke the joy of the sea, the salty air, the sand, and the animals that live in this habitat. Hogan's experience as an island dweller in Maine truly shines. Roelfs's text has a lot going on. It covers respecting the natural world, animals of the sea, and using one's imagination through much description and dialogue. The illustrations work well at grounding and depicting the abundant text. There is back matter that provides further description and facts about the animals mentioned in the story, including Ana. VERDICT This gentle story and lovely artwork touch on sea animals, using one's imagination, and respecting nature. An informative and delightful addition. " -- School Library Journal

Tilbury House,U.S. The Secret Stream
Book SynopsisIn this nonfiction picture book, a stream narrates its own natural history as it flows from its headwaters in the mountains to its mouth in the lowlands, introducing the plants and animals that line its banks and live in its waters.Trade Review" Follow a headwater stream from its start as a spring in the forest on its journey to becoming a river, nourishing life all along its length. The main text, written in the first person from the point of view of the stream itself, sticks to the top or left of each spread, introducing major ideas: how insect larvae and nymphs recycle leaves; kingfishers; beaver dams, etc. Further information on, for instance, aquatic insect metamorphosis or otters’ transparent eyelids, is found underneath headings in a slightly smaller font. As the water flows downstream, children read about riffles, how aquatic insects must anchor themselves or be washed down to be a trout’s meal, the importance of trees along the stream’s banks, and the animals that find food or shelter near the water. Most but not all animal species are labeled in the illustrations, which are mostly realistic looking and come to life with masterful use of shading and sunbeams. The text alternates between rhyming and not, which can be distracting. Endpages are two halves of a map showing the course of the stream and the many sights pointed out in the text. Young naturalists will be heading to the nearest stream to explore. " -- Kirkus"Narrated in intermittent rhymes and using onomatopoeia, this educational picture book traces a headwater stream from its origins in the falling rain; its waters burble up from the ground and tumble over rocks. The illustrations are soothing, with eye-catching natural features, including flora and insect and animal life: an otter peeps over a rock, and a brook trout scans for insects to gobble. The light breaks through the forest canopy and slices through the stream’s surface, inviting contemplation over the intricacies of nature." -- Michelle Anne Schingler - Foreword Reviews

Tilbury House,U.S. Keepers of the Reef
Book SynopsisTakes children to the underwater world of Australia's Great Barrier Reef for a prime example of how a complex ecosystem depends on its keystone species.Trade Review"When children discover the wonders of the natural world, they become fascinated and curious, and this often sparks a life-long appreciation for the environment. This book offers young readers a glimpse into the delicate balance between corals, algae, and the reef fishes that together make up these important ecosystems. A journey of discovery that will educate and inspire a connection with our oceans and the magic of coral reefs." -- Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute, and UN Messenger of Peace"Keepers of the Reef invites kids to look beyond the pretty colors, revealing fascinating fish behaviors that are key to the survival of coral reefs. A delightful perspective on life in this beautiful yet fragile marine habitat." -- Dr. David Bellwood, reef fish expert and Distinguished Professor of Marine Biology at James Cook University"Coral reefs are places of wonder and excitement that stir kids’ imaginations and create curiosity that lasts a lifetime. Keepers of the Reef nurtures that curiosity. It will encourage the children of today to become the stewards of tomorrow." -- Dr. Charlie Veron, global coral expert, conservationist, and the “Godfather of Coral”
