Randall de Seve Bücher

Als Hanna neu in die Nachbarschaft zieht, ist das Mädchen von gegenüber zu schüchtern, um zu ihr zu gehen und sich vorzustellen. Außerdem weiß es genau, dass Hanna ganz bestimmt schon einen Freund zum Spielen hat: einen Elefanten! Doch schon bald erkennt das kleine Mädchen, dass nicht alles, was wir uns vorstellen, tatsächlich wahr ist, und dass bereits ein wenig Mut zu Freundschaften und in neue Welten führen kann, die reicher und bunter sind, als wir sie uns je vorgestellt haben. Ein wunderschön illustriertes Kinderbuch zum Thema Umzug, Mut und neue Freunde finden.

A heartwarming picture book about a neighborhood coming together to help a kitten find a home, from a New York Times bestselling author and a Caldecott Honor-winning illustrator. Contrary to what you may believe, this story is not about a kitten, hungry and dirty, scared and alone, needing a home. It is also not about the dog who heard the kitten meowing sadly. Even less so about the woman and child walking the dog, who stopped when their dog heard the kitten. Nor is it about the friends who brought a box for the kitten, or the man who offered it some milk. No, this story is not about a kitten at all—well, maybe a little—but more importantly this is a story about community, compassion, and generosity. Randall de Sève’s thoughtful and warm story is sure to fill readers of all ages with hope and the warm fuzzy feeling that rescuing animals brings. Wonderfully complemented by Carson Ellis’s breathtaking illustrations, this book is sure to be cherished by animal-loving readers everywhere!

An uplifting story that offers a reassuring message about finding the courage to take a small risk—and the sweet reward that may follow. Sometimes you want to eat a juicy red plum at the top of a tree, but it seems so hard. What if you start the climb and a strong wind blows and the tree shakes? What if it rains and you slip and FALL? But those sweet-smelling, juicy, ripe purple plums up there look so tasty, and best of all, Mama is waiting for you with words of encouragement. . . . This tender picture book by New York Times bestselling author Randall de Sève, with illustrations by Kate Gardiner, is an empowering reminder that to fall and get back up again is the bravest, and sometimes most delicious, step of all.

How can a small sheep become a big orange balloon? With a lot of imagination and determination—anything is possible!
