Christmas Parade by Sandra Boynton – $6.99
Christmas Parade by Sandra Boynton
new release!
BOOM biddy BOOM biddy BOOM BOOM BOOM! What’s that noise filling the room?” From this rousing beginning unfolds Christmas Parade, a World Premiere book from Sandra Boynton, created by her specifically as an eBook-with-audio experience. Christmas Parade is written, illustrated, narrated and-with her long-time songwriting partner, Michael Ford-orchestrated by the perennially beloved children’s author. She also does the singing for the duck. Honest.
As the dynamic parade of 46 spiffy and intent animal musicians marches by, little listeners see and hear each instrument in turn: chickens with bassoons, ducks with trombones, mice with piccolos, cow saxophonists, a tiny bird with a large tuba, a glockenspiel pig, even a trumpet-playing Santa rhino-all underscored by marching snares (fifteen hippos, one cat) and one booming bass drum (an intrepid elephant.) Written with the irresistible rhythm of a lively marching band, scored with perfect parade moments of favorite old Christmas carols, and illustrated by the author with those improbable Boynton characters, Christmas Parade is a superb Christmas present for young children and families everywhere. Biddy BOOM.
In this NOOK Kids Read to Me book, children can choose to hear the story read aloud and pinch & stretch to zoom in on pictures.

There is a hidden power in Dela’s eyes—and with her, he may regain all that was lost to him. Where once he savaged, now he must protect; where before he knew only hatred, now he must embrace love.

Crazy Love- $7.73
God is love. Crazy, relentless, all-powerful love. Have you ever wondered if we’re missing it?
It’s crazy, if you think about it. The God of the universe—the Creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor—loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss.
Whether you’ve verbalized it yet or not, we all know something’s wrong.
Does something deep inside your heart long to break free from the status quo? Are you hungry for an authentic faith that addresses the problems of our world with tangible, even radical, solutions? God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. Because the answer to religious complacency isn’t working harder at a list of do’s and don’ts-it’s falling in love with God. And once you encounter His love, as Francis describes it, you will never be the same. Because when you’re wildly in love with someone, it changes everything.

Sometimes they are filled with gratitude and affection, and other times they seem totally indifferent. Attitude. Behavior. Development.

Each child, too, expresses and receives love through one of five different communication styles. And your love language may be totally different from that of your child. While you are doing all you can to show your child love, he may be hearing it as something completely opposite.Discover your child’s primary language and learn what you can do to effectively convey unconditional feelings of respect, affection, and commitment that will resonate in your child’s emotions and behavior.
Shark Girl- $7.19
A teenager struggles through physical loss to the start of acceptance in an absorbing, artful novel at once honest and insightful, wrenching and redemptive.
On a sunny day in June, at the beach with her mom and brother, fifteen-year-old Jane Arrowood went for a swim. And then everything — absolutely everything — changed. Now she’s counting down the days until she returns to school with her fake arm, where she knows kids will whisper, “That’s her — that’s Shark Girl,” as she passes. In the meantime there are only questions: Why did this happen? Why her? What about her art? What about her life? In this striking first novel, Kelly Bingham uses poems, letters, telephone conversations, and newspaper clippings to look unflinchingly at what it’s like to lose part of yourself – and to summon the courage it takes to find yourself again.
