For this collection of over 50 origami flowers, animals, and decorative objects, Klam launches right into her very detailed projects without first specifying the types of paper and other materials crafters will need. Aside from that missing information upfront, project directions are remarkably clear. From a simple windmill to a horse, heart, or elephant, each design includes different sizes, which will help determine what size paper is needed. Also included are level of difficulty; tips, such as using felt tip pens to personalize rabbit faces and for projects destined to be coasters or party invitations; and crucial step-by-step diagrams.

Andersen Press Ltd Wolf in the Snow
Book SynopsisWinner of the 2018 Caldecott Medal A girl is lost in a snowstorm. A wolf cub is lost, too. How will they find their way home? Pictures rich with feeling tell this satisfying story of friendship and trust. Here is a book set on a wintry night that will spark imaginations and warm hearts, from award-winning author and illustrator Matthew Cordell. "Beautifully paced....ultimately reassuring." Wall Street Journal "Caught in a blizzard on her way home from school, a girl in a red parka discovers a wolf pup left behind by its pack. Cordell's story is wordless, but there's a soundtrack: the cub whines, and distant howls reveal the pack's presence over the next hill. The girl's story is a hero's journey, and Cordell tells it with skill and heart." Publishers Weekly, starred reviewTrade Review"Beautiful" * Daily Mail *"A clever tale of trust and friendship and a joy to share" * Irish Independent, Children's Books of the Year *"A near-wordless story of kindness repaid.... What distinguishes this book are the many feelings that Cordell's pen-and-ink-with-watercolor illustrations capture so well - cold, fear, courage, exhaustion, relief - keeping readers hooked to the end. Deeply satisfying." * Kirkus, Starred review *"Cordell’s pen-and-ink illustrations balance detail and emotion...The setting is brought to life through changing sky colors, cold breaths, and extensive snowscapes in watercolors. The handlettered, inky text, wordless except for sound effects, supports the cinematic feel created through the use of varying perspectives and loosely demarcated panels. Suspenseful page-turns and aerial views on double-page spreads keep readers worrying about the protagonist until the very end, when the family is shown by the fireside with steamy mugs and pet dog?a cozy contrast to the fraught outdoor adventure." * Horn Book, starred review *"A stunning near wordless picture book which will inspire the story teller in all of its readers... a quite different and hugely heart-warming drama about trust and friendship." * LoveReading4Kids, December 2019 Book of the Month *

Today, 25 years after LIFE was first published, I am so proud and pleased that readers have treasured this book all these years.
