A Cobtown Story: from the Diaries of Lucky Hart

The year: 1845. The place: Cobtown, USA. The writer: ten-year-old Lucky Hart, whose vivid diary entries evoke the special place she calls home and the many colorful and endearing folks who share her daily joys, her adventures, her traditions and her boundless American spirit. It's three days before the Cobtown Harvest Festival, and Lucky Hart's aunt Heddy Peggler can't get to her pumpkin patch. A fallen tree is blocking the entrance. Without Aunt Heddy's pumpkins, the big event won't include the annual Pie-Eating Contest, nor will there be any Pumpkin Race. Everyone is disappointed and Aunt Heddy's spirit remains low-at least until the pumpkins miraculously appear in her back yard. There's no time to lose, and no time to ask questions. But how did the pumpkins get there? Only Oinkey, Heddy's pet pig knows for sure!

THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU - THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD. As Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), I have traveled across the globe and met children and their families living in remarkably ditterent communities. Some of you live in rural villages, others in crowded cities. You live in rain forests, deserts, mountains, on islands, and some of you brave the cold of the Arctic tundra.
Your foods are different, your dress, your homes, your games, and your beliefs. You should be proud of these differences and celebrate your individual and unique cultures.
Yet as I travel, it is not the differences that strike me, but rather the magnificent similarities that make you all very much alike. You all have curiosity, fears, hopes, and dreams - as well as an extraordinary gift to open your hearts to others.
Wherever you live, you are entitled to protection and support by adults like me. These are your rights, and they are clearly outlined in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, a legal document adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1989, signed and ratified by nearly every country in the world. It details your rights - to health care; food, education, play, shelter, and above all, to protection against violence, discrimination, and exploitation. This is your "constitution," and it belongs to you. It is written so that your voices are heard and that you really do come first.
In 1996, UNICEF celebrates 50 years of work for you - the children of the world. Mostly, it will be a celebration to honor you - all of you - and to pledge our support at UNICEF for the next 50 years to protecting your dreams and your future.
HARRY BELAFONTE, GOODWILL AMBASSADOR FOR UNICEF

Children Just Like Me is a celebration of children around the world, published to coincide with UNICEF's 50th anniversary. For the past two years, a photographer and teacher have traveled to five continents to meet and talk to children from many different walks of like. Children will enjoy reading about the dreams and beliefs, hopes and fears, and day-to-day events of other children's lives, understanding not just the obvious differences between one another, but discovering the extraordinary similarities. Children are encouraged to participate in a special pen pal arrangement, so that they may share their own experiences with children in other countries.

Each kindness makes the world a little better

This unforgettable book is written and illustrated by the award-winning team that created The Other Side and the Caldecott Honor winner Coming On Home Soon. With its powerful anti-bullying message and striking art, it will resonate with readers long after they've put it down.

Chloe and her friends won't play with the new girl, Maya. Every time Maya tries to join Chloe and her friends, they reject her. Eventually Maya stops coming to school. When Chloe's teacher gives a lesson about how even small acts of kindness can change the world, Chloe is stung by the lost opportunity for friendship, and thinks about how much better it could have been if she'd shown a little kindness toward Maya.

Wynter Pitts

What God Can Do When We Follow Him

Great Things Happen When Girls Say Yes to God Every Christian parent wants their daughter to make good decisions as she grows into an adult. Wynter Pitts, a mother of four young girls, is no exception and she wants to help your tween daughter, age 8-12, make choices that honor God and protect her heart and soul. Smart choices begin with one word. Yes. When your daughter says yes to God in every area of her life, the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—will take hold in her heart and soul, bringing her happiness and blessing those around her. In her signature conversational style, Wynter teaches your tween girl how God can help her make good decisions and where to find solid examples from Scripture and specifically, from the life of Jesus. When girls say yes to God, He can do amazing things in their life. For more information on this title, visit godsgirlsaysyes.com.

... and Her Plans to Maximize Fun, Avoid Disaster, and (Possibly) Save the World

Who is Ida B. Applewood? She is a fourth grader like no other, living a life like no other, with a voice like no other, and her story will resonate long after you have put this book down. How does Ida B cope when outside forces—life, really—attempt to derail her and her family and her future? She enters her Black Period, and it is not pretty. But then, with the help of a patient teacher, a loyal cat and dog, her beloved apple trees, and parents who believe in the same things she does (even if they sometimes act as though they don't), the resilience that is the very essence of Ida B triumph...and Ida B. Applewood takes the hand that is extended and starts to grow up. This first novel is both very funny and extraordinarily moving, and it introduces two shining stars—Katherine Hannigan and Ida B. Applewood.

A Mystery with Electromagnets, Burglar Alarms, and Other Gadgets You Can Build y Ourself

Nick and Tesla are bright 11-year-old siblings with a knack for science, electronics, and getting into trouble. When their parents mysteriously vanish, they're sent to live with their Uncle Newt, a brilliant inventor who engineers top-secret gadgets for a classified government agency. It's not long before Nick and Tesla are embarking on adventures of their own--engineering all kinds of outrageous MacGyverish contraptions to save their skin: 9-volt burglar alarms, electromagnets, mobile tracking devices, and more. Readers are invited to join in the fun as each story contains instructions and blueprints for five different projects.

In Nick and Tesla's High-Voltage Danger Lab, we meet the characters and learn how to make everything fromnbsp;rocket launchers to soda-powered vehicles. Learning about science has never been so dangerous--or so much fun!
