I Love You with All of My Hearts

Written by: Lindsay Bonilla

Illustrated by: Eleonora Pace 

Ages: 5-8

This quirky picture book shows kids all the ways that animals show they care. An elephant may say “I love you with all of my ears” as it uses them to cradle their calf. A spider say “I love you with all of my eyes,” as it uses its many peepers to watch over their spiderlings. A lion may say “I love you with all of my hair” while its cub naps in its flowing mane. They may express emotions differently, but all the creatures in this book have one thing in common: love.

I Love You with All of My Hearts

Rescuing Titanic

By: Flora DelargyParagraph

Ages: 7-11

Many kids are familiar with the tragic story of the Titanic, but less is known about the Carpathia and its heroic journey to rescue passengers from the doomed ship in the dark, frigid waters of the North Atlantic. This beautifully illustrated picture book tells the story of the crew and the little ship, and how after receiving a distress call in the middle of the night, it navigated treacherous ice fields and ultimately rescued 705 passengers. Written and illustrated by Flora Delargy, whose grandfather and great grandfather worked in the Belfast Shipyards where the Titanic was built, this book shows kids in vivid detail what took place on this eerie, fateful night, while teaching them about fascinating maritime concepts like morse code, navigation tools and crew roles.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Harvest Festival, the emperor sends his son to sample the delicious cakes. But shockingly, the usually sweet and wonderful mooncakes taste bitter and disgusting. Accused of insulting and harming the emperor’s son, Grandpa is arrested, and it’s up to Mei and Yun to save him. What follows in this fantastical, folklore-inspired tale, is an adventure filled with mysterious cities, a powerful poet and other mystical figures and events on their quest to clear their grandfather’s name.

The Bear House No.1

By: Meaghan McIsaac
