THINGS WE WEAR

Angebote / Angebote:

A Children's Book Council "Hot Off the Press" Selection for November 2022! We began our alphabet series with the action-packed THINGS WE DO, featuring kid-friendly verbs like CLAP (Joseph Bruchac), DANCE (Nikki Grimes), EAT (Jack Prelutsky), and FLY (Carole Boston Weatherford). The response to "Eat" byJack Prelutsky was so enthusiastic that we decided to devote a whole book to food with THINGS WE EAT, where we included many global staples such as RICE (Jacqueline Woodson). We then explored our emotions in THINGS WE FEEL, honoring our wide range of emotions, even our WORRIED (Naomi Shihab Nye) times. We're now ready to help kids celebrate another favorite topic: clothes and other THINGS WE WEAR, with gems by Douglas Florian, Padma Venkatraman, and 24 additional voices. In this book, we wear not just clothes - but aprons, boots, costumes, dresses, earmuffs, flip-flops, glasses, helmets, ice skates, jeans, kippahs, life jackets, masks, necklaces, overalls, pajamas, quilts, raincoats, saris, t-shirts, uniforms, visors, watches, x-ray aprons, yukata, and zippers! Readers (and preschool "book-lookers") will see themselves very clearly in the wide variety of children and activities depicted in these diverse and inclusive photos. The poets featured in this book are: Robyn Hood Black, Willeena Booker, Sandy Brehl, Judy Bryan, Rose Cappelli, Janet Clare Fagal, Karen Elise Finch, Patricia J. Franz, Theresa Gaughan, Xelena González, Katey Howes, Molly Lorenz, Amy Milholland, Moe Phillips, Donna JT Smith, Holly Thompson, Linda Kulp Trout, Fernanda Valentino, Amy Ludwig VanDerwater, Padma Venkatraman, Jenna Waldman, Vicki Wilke, Matthew Winter, Janet Wong, and Helen Kemp Zax. As with other books in this series (THINGS WE DO, THINGS WE EAT, THINGS WE FEEL), 100% of the profits will be donated to the IBBY Children in Crisis Fund.
