New York Review of Books Mouse House
Book Synopsis“Once upon a time there was a little mouse house. It was like a doll’s house, but not for dolls, for mice.” Not proper mice, but a flannel He-Mouse and She-Mouse with beady eyes and bristle whiskers who stand quite still, propped on their hind legs in the sitting room. Mary knows real mice run and scamper, and disappointed with her new gift, she puts the mouse house away in her room. Meanwhile, down in the basement, a real mouse named Bonnie has been jostled out of her woefully inadequate flowerpot home by her older brothers and sisters. Overlooked by her harried parents and desperate for shelter, Bonnie ventures upstairs and finds the mouse house. And before too long what was a miniature make-believe house becomes a marvelously messy home for proper mice who know how to play, much to everyone’s delight.

Clavis Publishing Celebrate with Zaza
Book Synopsis"A perfect story to read on a birthday, or any day!” - Black Children’s Books and Authors "Young readers will relate easily to the story and how much fun it is to throw a party for their good friends". - Kiss the Book, librarian blog It’s Rosie’s birthday and Zaza is having a party for her. It’s time to celebrate! For toddlers ages 24 months and up, with a focus on the child's daily life. At Clavis, our focus is on what’s best for children. We believe that books play an important role in each new phase in life. Our toddler books are tailored for every stage from 0 to 3 and focus on the five most important themes in their life: daily life, skills, emotions, the world, and language development. The age range and theme of every book in our toddler series can be found on the back cover in the form of a colored train.Trade Review"Here’s a small smattering of some of the true beauties I’ve run across this year. There are two Zaza books out this year (the other is called Celebrate with Zaza), and they’re both great.” - Elizabeth Bird, Fuse Eight, SLJ.com "A perfect story to read on a birthday, or any day!” - Black Children’s Books and Authors "I could see my kids making instant connections with Zaza and Rosie ... with how they played together. This book is about how a young child can pretend play with her toys. How they set up a party and pretend to share, to give, to celebrate – all of which encouraging imagination use versus being entertained by something or someone else. Due to the easy language and storyline this book would be perfect if you were in need of a book for Text-to-Self activities – I think a high number of children do this type of play at some point....Another positive is that because of the simple nature of this book it would be especially beneficial to ESL/ELL students in a preschool or childcare setting." - Miss Jenny's Classroom blog "Young readers will relate easily to the story and how much fun it is to throw a party for their good friends". - Kiss the Book, librarian blog
