La La La

A beautiful story of hope and personal exploration told through a simple, repeated refrain, and accompanied by incredible illustrations rendered in a combination of black and white and vibrant color. You won't want this wonderful little book to end!

Love, Triangle 
Marcie Colleen (Author) and Bob Shea (Illustrator)

Told through a delightful combination of word play and geometric imagery, Love, Triangle is a hilarious story of friendship and the complications that ensue when a new arrival comes into the picture. As circle and square compete for triangle's attention, Shea's illustrations perfectly capture the and exaggerate their shenanigans.

Read the Book, Lemmings!

Why won't the lemmings read the book Don't they know lemmings don't jump off of cliffs‽ These silly lemmings just don't seem to learn, but can Foxy teach them in the end? Let's hope so, or they'll be in for a whole mess of trouble from the Captain. Zachariah OHora's simple, yet incredibly expressive illustrations accompany Ame Dyckman's signature humor in this super fun story of miscommunication.
