È carnevale: una madre e una figlia hanno una gran voglia di fare le frittelle, ma non hanno la padella. Una favola di tradizione che non finisce mai, giocata sul testo in italiano e in veneto e sulle immagini che si inseriscono e si ripetono creando visivamente "un libro senza fine".

"Hello Ruby is half picture book and half activity book rolled into one adorable package. It introduces programming without requiring a computer at all. The point of the book isn't to teach you a programming language, but programming concepts." --GeekMom.com

Meet Ruby—a small girl with a huge imagination, and the determination to solve any puzzle. As Ruby stomps around her world making new friends, including the Wise Snow Leopard, the Friendly Foxes, and the Messy Robots, kids will be introduced to the fundamentals of computational thinking, like how to break big problems into small ones, create step-by-step plans, look for patterns and think outside the box through storytelling. Then, these basic concepts at the core of coding and programming will be reinforced through fun playful exercises and activities that encourage exploration and creativity.

In Ruby's world anything is possible if you put your mind to it.

There was a man with messy hair. He liked the mess. He didn't care. But his messy hair soon got him into all sorts of trouble! Part cautionary tale, part wry observation of the quirks in us all, this is (as always) a delightful story that will make you laugh; and what child doesn't like to read about messiness?

Jon Agee at his best--goofy story, bravura pictures!

In the middle of busy New York City, a cabdriver picks up a tiny guy in a goofy suit who wants to go to the other side of town. The other side of town, it turns out, is not in Brooklyn or Queens. It's a zany, pink-and-green world where things look very familiar but are completely different.

Now, it's one thing to go there, but how on earth do you ever get back?

Little Tembo, a baby elephant, is thirsty and her herd cannot find any water. But Bibi, the matriarch, "remembers the way to wet." As Bibi leads them across the parched savannah, Tembo happily follows, every now and then getting distracted by her own memories of games she loves to play. With touching family moments interspersed between Tembo's playful actions, this tribute to grandmothers will make a perfect read-aloud.
Praise for Stay Close to Mama

"Readers and their parents will instantly see themselves in this loving but ongoing conflict over the need to explore and the need to protect, and they'll undoubtedly find the two characters adorable and reassuring."

Wohnoutka's large, almost impressionistic paintings grant a rich glimpse of the broad savanna and its denizens.

Praise for Just Like My Papa

"The acrylic illustrations are larger than life and show the expanses of the savannah but remain warm and kid-friendly, especially in the lions' depth of expression, ranging from curiosity to impatience, from concern to pride. The pacing is superb, with the right amount of drama for the youngest readers yet awash with reassuring paternal love and care for young Kito."
