A quiet celebration of a family farm, settling down for winter. I love how it highlights both the work and the rest that comes with life on a farm. Lovely.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

A captivating exploration of how a family gets a farm ready for the snow of winter, Sleep Tight Farm lyrically connects each growing season to the preparations at the very end of the farm year. This beautiful and informative book paints a fascinating picture of what winter means to the farm year and to the family that shares its seasons, from spring's new growth, summer's heat, and fall's bounty to winter's well-earned rest.

FROM SARAH:

A fascinating look at one of the world’s most eccentric mathematicians. LeUyen Pham’s richly detailed illustrations weave mathematical ideas into every page, capturing Paul Erdős’s brilliance and childlike joy.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

Most people think of mathematicians as solitary, working away in isolation. And, it's true, many of them do. But Paul Erdos never followed the usual path. At the age of four, he could ask you when you were born and then calculate the number of seconds you had been alive in his head.

FROM SARAH:

I love this book so much, I selected it for its own Family Book Club at RAR Premium.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

Newbery Medal-winning author Patricia MacLachlan’s poignant text and award-winning artist Kenard Pak’s gentle and rustic illustrations paint the picture of a beautiful red barn and the people who call it home.

FROM SARAH:

You will read this one over and over again. What’s your favorite kind of quiet? Mine will obviously always have to do with a lollipop.

FROM THE PUBLISHER: 
This irresistibly charming bedtime classic explores all the different quiets that can fill a child's days from morning until night. Sweet, beautifully rendered bears, rabbits, fish, birds, and iguanas propel the story far beyond words.

FROM SARAH:

I love this picture book, featuring Mama and Papa Seeton and their four beloved children who can be wooed home with a whistle for cake. Not enough people know about this book... it's a delight!

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

When Mama Seeton whistles, her children run home for chocolate cake, hugs, kisses, and shared memories. But as time passes, they travel farther and farther away from the familiar sound. Can mama's whistle be heard all over the world, and bring her children home one more time?

FROM SARAH:

In this joyful, Caldecott Honor adventure, a tumble into a river becomes a wild ride with an adorable crew of forest friends. This story reminds us that sometimes the destination is not nearly as exciting as the adventure along the way.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:
This hilarious picture book and heartfelt message celebrates the joy and fun that's in store when you embark together on a ride of a lifetime.

FROM SARAH:

I love the way Deborah Underwood’s illustrations capture entire stories in each image. This stunning picture book is tribute to the nature that is not always as far away as we think.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

From the New York Times best-selling author behind The Quiet Book comes a mindful contemplation on the many ways nature affects our everyday lives, even when we're stuck inside. Five starred reviews!
