Description


The Wild Swans - In the classic Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale The Wild Swans, a princess rescues her 11 brothers from a transformative spell cast by their wicked stepmother. This story of enchantment is conveyed here in a remarkable and unusual way — as a wordless unfolding accordion board book with a series of beautiful illustrations that tell the tale. A separate booklet included contains text to accompany the story. This stunning edition captivates lovers of fairy tales and folklore who are familiar with the tale, as well as introduces new generations to the story.


Water Sings Blue - Come down to the shore with this rich and vivid celebration of the ocean! With watercolors gorgeous enough to wade in by award-winning artist Meilo So and playful, moving poems by Kate Coombs, Water Sings Blue evokes the beauty and power, the depth and mystery, and the endless resonance of the sea.
