🎉 Happy book birthday to THE TREE THAT WAS A WORLD! 🌳

The extraordinary tales of seventeen creatures, all living under the same ordinary tree, are told in this witty, surreal middle grade collection from author .goldewijk and illus. Jeska Verstegen, trans. by .watkinson:

🦥 A sloth hangs on a branch all day but longs to somersault through the woods.
🐛The moon moth caterpillar watches her friends shed their skins but decides to do things differently.
🍃 An aphid is so very hungry…but not for the leaves in front of her.

You'll laugh, you might get teary, you might even gasp. But you won't soon forget the reading experience of this unique illustrated novel.

“Celebrates the beauty of nature and the richness and wonder found in diverse perspectives.” — .Booklist

Kids all over the world are celebrating International Walk to School Day, which means it's time to revisit 9 KILOMETERS!

A young boy leaves home for school. He has a long path ahead: 9 kilometers—over 5 1/2 miles—through the mountains and rain forests of Chile. But the boy doesn’t mind. While he walks, he can count 🦋 and 🦎, and he can think about where the 15K steps he takes every morning could lead. Nine kilometers could bring the boy across 90 ⚽ fields, up the world’s 10 largest 🏢, or into a school at last.
