Hide-and-Seek
by Molly Cranch
Is that a regular tree branch, or is a cricket perched on its leaf? Is that a bird standing in the reeds, or is the wind blowing its stems? Some animals are very good at hiding. So good, in fact, that you could almost miss them entirely . . . Almost!

Giraffes sleep in five-minute intervals, while koalas sleep for twenty-two hours a day! From grizzly bears to hummingbirds, there are creatures of all sizes and habitats to wish a good night in this cozy and compelling book.
Painting the Sky with Love: A Celebration of Love and Community
by Mary E. Haque
A child flings open her arms to the sky, “painting it” with love. Hearts cascade and float and bounce down, while at the same time, people looking up at the sky open their hearts. This surreal, glorious expansiveness tapers down to tiny moments of love and kindness. Painting the Sky with Love is bursting with joy. Radiant art from Tatiana Gardel fills the pages, and hearts will be lifted as each page is turned. In a world that often feels heavily weighed down by hate, this celebratory embrace of love and tenderness can offer some welcome warmth.

Many toddlers and preschoolers consistently ask for someone to play with them, and this book provides just that for the quieter moments of the day.
