Persephone: A Journey from Winter to Spring by Sally Pomme Clayton illustrated by Virginia Lee $30 |
Sally Pomme Clayton's dramatic storytelling and Virginia Lee's haunting illustrations transform one of the world's oldest myths into a classic picturebook. No flowers. No plants. No sunshine. When Hades carries Persephone down to the Underworld, her mother curses the Earth and everything stops growing. It is winter all year round. Persephone must return to Earth — but how can Spring return where Winter reigns? |

Lugalbanda: The Boy Who Got Caught Up in a War by Kathy Henderson Illustrated by Jane Ray $17 (paperback edition) Please note: sometimes the cover of this book is blue. |
Both timely and timeless, Lugalbanda is the oldest-known written story,
predating even the epic of Gilgamesh (who may be Lugalbanda's son). The
cuneiform tablets on which this Sumerian legend was inscribed were
discovered during 19th-century excavations, but not deciphered until the
1970s. Henderson's vivid, yet stately words and Ray's Sumerian-inspired
watercolor, ink, and collage illustrations bring immediacy to this story
of a boy caught up in wartime. Lugalbanda's courage, native kindness,
and prescience contributed to his heroism. Grievously ill, he is left
behind in the wilderness while his brothers' army marches to war. Upon
his recovery, Lugalbanda tames the fearsome Anzu bird with its teeth of
a shark and talons of an eagle and persuades the monster to grant him
supernatural strength and speed. In return, the prince promises that his
people will venerate the Anzu bird in perpetuity. With the publication
of this beautiful, fascinating book, modern readers can come to
appreciate a compelling narrative from a civilization about which we are
still learning. |

Illustrated by Bijou Le Tord in delicate,
graceful charcoal drawings highlighted with gold, reflecting both the
saint's simplicity and his joyous spirit, this beautiful compilation by
Karen Pandell makes it clear that the songs and stories of Saint Francis
are indeed the heritage of every child. From Karen Pandell and Bijou Le
Tord comes an ode to Saint Francis's connection with nature that
transcends culture and faith -- an inspiration for all time and all
people. |
