I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
And I come to town just to hear the band
I know all the songs that the cowboys know
'Bout the big corral where the doggies go
And I learned them all on the radio
Yippee-Kiyo-Kiyay

The Golden Bowl is a sweet story meant for young readers. A little art lover girl is very excited about her dog’s coming birthday, but no gift seems adequate enough for the animal : a necklace ? A decorated dog biscuit with frosting ? A painted bowl ? The latest seems the best gift and Zoya works very hard on her création, sharing color names with the reader in the process.

This picture book is truly gorgeous : based on the true story of Mildred, Harriet, Brenda, and Wilma Moody, this non fiction book shows the incredible work realized by the sisters in Southern California in the 30s.

This adorable picture book is based on the true story of Lars and Astrid Fossberg, a couple from Norway who opened a Ski Resort in Canada. Inspired by Norwegian folklore, the story follows a couple of trolls who travel around to distant lands and find a beautiful mountain to build a house, have a family and realize their dreams.

"A narrative goal doesn’t have to be super serious to drive a plot forward. And nothing is more relatable to a kid than a little silliness."

This picture book is deliciously adorable ! Buckwheat the black and white dog is very hungry ! Exploring Jewish food, the animal counts each of the tantalizing dishes : one golden challah, two matzo balls, three matzos, four kugels, five knishes, and so on.
