In this beautiful picture book inspired by real events, a young girl works to rescue her horse after a devastating flood.

Dancer is a gentle and loving horse. He got his name because of how he moves his hooves—happily, like he's dancing. Every day when the girl rides on his back, it feels like she is flying—until the rain descends and won't let up. Everything floods and the girl and her family flee...leaving Dancer behind. But while sheltering at the community center, the girl can't stop worrying about Dancer. She knows there must be a way to save him too. With the help of an agriculture officer, a horse expert and a helicopter pilot, a plan comes together to save the stranded horse.

Inspired by real events during the flooding near Spences Bridge, British Columbia, in 2021, this gorgeously illustrated book tells the tale of a girl's love for her horse and the power of a community coming together to help humans (and animals) during a natural disaster.

“Readers will be moved by how the protagonist’s flights of fancy turn into concrete solutions. The story is a much-needed reminder about the importance of community; it also offers a crucial takeaway: Even in the face of natural disaster and trauma, we must never stop attempting the seemingly impossible…A tremendous example of collective efforts in the wake of disaster.”
—Kirkus Reviews

"There is a beautiful flow and rhythm to [Stone’s] words, making The Day Dancer Flew ideal for reading aloud...[and] the illustrations by Brittany Lane are stunning, soft, and ethereal...Being able to place the story anywhere makes it easier for readers to connect to the idea that there are always helpers, and that some people will do selfless things to help others. Highly Recommended.”
—CM Reviews

From a bestselling illustrator, this utterly unique comic-style book for kids 4 to 8 explores super-small creatures with astounding abilities.

Did you know that some of the smallest creatures on Earth have real-life superpowers?

The minute oribatid mite can lift more than 1,000 times its own weight. A tiny type of salamander (called an axolotl) can regrow body parts. And the almost microscopic tardigrade? It can survive practically anywhere, even in outer space! Acclaimed author Tiffany Stone combines comic panels and poems to share incredible facts about our world's miniature marvels, while illustrator Ashley Spires' zany cartoon-style illustrations make these itty-bitty superheroes (and supervillains) pop from the page.

From glow-in-the-dark sharks to immortal jellyfish and tiny cats with lethal aim, Super Small shows readers that just because you are small, it doesn't mean you aren't super—and sometimes being small can be super in and of itself.

“Small wonders.”

Based on a true story, this sweet and playful picture book about a little lost narwhal introduces kids to the marine world and the surprising friendships under the sea.

When little narwhal sets off on an adventure to see new sights, he finds himself far from home, too far to return on his own. Scared and alone, narwhal looks for other narwhals but finds a pod of belugas instead. They don’t speak his language or eat the same foods, but when the belugas begin to play—little narwhal knows exactly what to do!

This heartwarming story is the perfect gift for young kids starting school, daycare, or making new friends:

• Little narwhal finds friends in new and unexpected places, helping kids to feel excited and empowered about relationship-building.

• Shares an important message about acceptance, empathy, and overcoming differences

• The poetic language and playful illustrations are engaging and memorable

Includes a note from a marine biologist about the true events that inspired this story.

“This rhyming story of a real-life friendship is compelling not only for its plot, but also for its underlying message about how diversity makes us stronger…This picture book about an interspecies friendship has plenty of lessons for humans, too.”

The hilarious team behind Knot Cannot is back, this time with the story of curmudgeonly Wood and a girl determined to be his friend.

An imaginative girl in the forest knows that the piece of wood she finds could be a unicorn or a ship or a ladder. But Wood would rather be sleeping like a log. Despite all the girl’s attempts to get him to play with her and her beloved stuffed bunny, Prince Fluffybutt, Wood refuses to branch out. But when the girl really gets in trouble, Wood has to look deep within himself to see if it’s possible to turn over a new leaf.

“A richly executed comedic piece, this hides tenderness in rough bark but is a real softie when it comes to charm. With funny wordplay and pacing to delight with every turn of the page, this one’s a must.”
—School Library Journal (starred review)

“This story seems all fun and games, from Stone’s could-would refrain and long string of wood-related wordplay to Lowery’s clear-lined panels, which move between the girl’s fantasies and Wood’s grumpy reality. But ultimately, the payoff is anything but trivial, as the wooden protagonist finds a warm feeling in helping another.”
—Publishers Weekly

“Stone and Lowery team up for some serious wordplay and comic book–like styling, and while this leans more into punny humor than technical literacy skills, the inclusion of figurative language brings kids into the conceptual world of words as opposed to the mechanical.”

For fans of Sophie’s Squash and other super-silly picture books, here is the endearing story of a man named Silli who tries to tame the wind in ridiculous ways.

Silli lives in the middle of a meadow, in the open air. One morning, a gust of wind pays a visit–brrrr! What if the wind comes to stay? If only Silli could find some sheep, he’d have wool to knit a sweater to keep him warm. Luckily, he spots five large “sheep” up on a hill–perfect! It’s just too bad they’re resistant to herding and their wool is incredibly hard. But when Silli leans against them, they block the wind and keep him warm. . . . Perhaps he can build a shelter made of sheep? And so he resourcefully arranges his sturdy sheep (which are actually sheep-shaped rocks) into a little hut, and is finally warm and dry. This charming story–crafted in the tradition of folkloric characters who are well-meaning, likeable, and also a bit ridiculous–is sure to have a ton of kid appeal.

“A fresh and funny story of a good-natured soul who marches—with perseverance and gusto—to his own drummer.”

A pun-packed look at friendship, jealousy, and being yourself

Knot is a piece of rope who longs to do the same things as Snake. Snake can slither and swim and hiss. Sadly, Knot cannot! But when Snake finds herself in a pickle, Knot discovers there's one thing he can do that Snake cannot. Knot can knot—a lot!

With wordplay a-plenty, this uproarious read-a-loud encourages readers to find—and celebrate!—whatever it is they do best.

“Clever wordplay and an unlikely (and adorable) protagonist make this book knot to be missed.”
—Kirkus Reviews

“In the talented, sublimely silly hands of Stone and Lowery, the question “What do I have to offer the world?” seems far less knotty.”
—Publishers Weekly

“ . . . a deliciously relentless barrage of punnery and other wordplay. . . ” —Booklist

“The high color contrast design and goofy, thickly lined figures make for easy viewing . . . The true value, however, is in the playful literacy lesson, with the repetition of the ‘ot’ sound giving the book a helpful rhyming foundation for beginning readers, while other words provide a sophistication that will test more savvy readers’ skills.”
— Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

“With its repetition, consonance, and homophones, this tale is a fun way for students to build word comprehension . . . This humorous read-aloud will help young readers untangle some tricky vocabulary words and teach them valuable lessons about finding confidence in one’s abilities.”

This joyful book follows the life cycle of a tree as it grows from seedling to mature tree, and finally gives way to a new sapling. At every stage of the tree’s life, children are seen playing under its branches.

Each season brings with it new sounds, whether it’s the chirping of birds in the spring or the flitter flutter of leaves in the fall. As well as a home for animals, the tree provides a canopy for a summer picnic, and a perfect place to hang a swing. Most important of all, when old age fells the tree, it provides an acorn from which a new tree will grow.

Colourful illustrations will capture the attention of young readers, while the lyrical text makes this an ideal read-aloud book. It can also serve as the perfect introduction to nature’s life cycles.

Lesson plan available here.

One of CBC Books’ 11 Canadian poetry books for kids to read during National Poetry Month.

A nighttime adventure begins when two friends share a cup of tea—by jumping into the cup off a teaspoon! Rowing a sugar cube and sliding down a teapot spout are just some of the fun they have as they enter a land of sweet surprises. Lilting rhyming text by Tiffany Stone and gorgeous illustrations by Jori van der Linde create a classic bedtime read-aloud that brings to mind the poems of A Child's Garden of Verses.

“The illustrations are absolutely charming, with abundantly sweet details and bright, cheerful characters. I especially liked that there was a boy fairy as well as a girl, which shows that little boys are just as welcome to tea parties and make-believe.”
