Before Morning

There are planes to fly and buses to catch, but a small child wishes for a different sort
of day in this striking picture book. When clouds gather and heavy flakes begin to fall,

scratchboard art, Sidman and Krommes remind us that sometimes, if spoken from the
heart, wishes really can come true.

When Mischief Came to Town

Katrina Nannestad
When Inge Maria Jensens mother dies, the ten-year-old girl in braids is sent from
Copenhagen to live on her grandmothers farm on the Danish island of Bornholm. The
whimsical Inge is desperate to tease a smile out of her stern-seeming but jelly-soft
grandmother with nonsensical songs and Hans Christian Andersen stories. Can she win
Fru Brulands heart even though she injures Henry the turkey, scolds her teacher for
making her act ladylike, and swipes some bloomers to use as a sail? A nostalgic nod to
Pippi Longstocking and Heidi, this cozy, humorous novel explores love and loss . . . and
the unsung magic of mischief.
The award-winning Australian author Katrina Nannestad studied arts and education at the
University of New England in Armidale in New South Wales. Her first teaching job was at a tiny
two-teacher school in the bush. She now lives near Bendigo, Australia, with her husband and two
sons.

Breakthrough!
How Three People Saved "Blue Babies" and Changed
Medicine Forever
Jim Murphy
In 1944 a groundbreaking operation repaired the congenital heart defect known as
blue baby syndrome. The operation's success brought the surgeon Alfred Blalock
international fame and paved the way for open-heart surgery. But the technique had
been painstakingly developed by Vivien Thomas, Blalock's African American lab
assistant, who stood behind Blalock in the operating room to give him step-by-step
instructions.
The stories of this medical and social breakthrough and the lives of Thomas, Blalock,
and their colleague Dr. Helen Taussig are intertwined in this compelling nonfiction
narrative.
Jim Murphy, a preeminent nonfiction writer, has won numerous awards, including the Sibert
Medal and two Newbery Honors. He lives in Maplewood, New Jersey, with his family.

Noah Webster and His Words

Jeri Chase Ferris, illustrated by Vincent X. Kirsch
Delightful, educational, and completely fascinating. Huffington Post
Websters American Dictionary is the second most popular book ever printed in English.
But who was Webster? Noah Webster (17581843) was a bookish Connecticut farm
boy who became obsessed with uniting America through language. He spent twenty
years writing two thousand pages to accomplish that. This clever, hilariously illustrated
account shines a light on early American history and the life of a man who could not
rest until hed achieved his dream. An illustrated chronology of Websters life makes
this a picture perfect bi-og-ra-phy [noun: a written history of a person's life].
Jeri Chase Ferris is the author ofeleven biographies because she likes to set the record straight
about people. She lives in California. Visit her website at www.jerichaseferris.com.
Vincent X. Kirsch is an author-illustrator who lives in New York City and likes to draw eggheaded, spindly-legged people from the past. Visit his website at www.vincentxkirsch.com.

Dolley Madison Saves George

Washington
Don Brown
* "Brown continues his string of exemplary biographies." Kirkus Reviews, starred
review
Dolley was a farm girl who became a fine first lady when she married James Madison.
She wore beautiful dresses, decorated her home, and threw lavish parties. Everyone
talked about Dolley, and everyone loved her, too. Then war arrived at her doorstep,
and Dolley had to meet challenges greater than shed ever known. So Dolley did one
thing she thought might make a difference: she saved George Washington. Not the man
himself, but a portrait of him, which would surely have been destroyed by English
soldiers.
Don Brown is the award-winning author and illustrator of many picture book biographies. He has
been widely praised for his resonant storytelling and his delicate watercolor paintings that evoke
the excitement, humor, pain, and joy of lives lived with passion. School Library Journal has called
him a current pacesetter who has put the finishing touches on the standards for storyographies.
He lives in New York with his family. Visit his website at www.booksbybrown.com.

becomes more acute, until he meets a girl with secrets of her own, who may just keep
his feet on the ground.

Margarita Engle
* "A splendid novel that celebrates one brave woman who rejected a constrained
existence with enduring words that continue to sing of freedom." Booklist, starred
review
Winner of the Pura Belpr Honor Award
Opposing slavery in Cuba in the nineteenth century was dangerous. The most daring
abolitionists were poets who veiled their work in metaphor. The boldest was Gertrudis
Gmez de Avellaneda. In passionate, accessible verses of her own, Engle evokes the
voice of this book-loving feminist and abolitionist who bravely resisted an arranged
marriage at the age of fourteen, and was ultimately courageous enough to fight against
injustice.
Includes historical notes, excerpts, and source notes.
Margarita Engle is a Cuban American poet and novelist whose work has been published in many
countries. Her books include the Newbery Honorwinning Surrender Tree, The Poet Slave of
Cuba, Tropical Secrets, The Firefly Letters, and Hurricane Dancers. She lives with her husband in

Last of the Giants

The Rise and Fall of the World's Largest Animals
Jeff Campbell
More than 40,000 years ago, the earth was ruled by megafauna: mammoths and
mastodons, saber-toothed tigers and giant sloths. But evolution and the arrival of the
wildly adaptive human species have led to extinction for many of these giants.
Globalization, beginning with Columbus, has already destroyed the black rhino, the
giant tortoise, and the great auk; but for other species, there is still time. Last of the
Giants chronicles these giant animals, and provides an astonishing portrait of an ancient
world that is vanishing before our very eyes.
Jeff Campbell is an editor of nonfiction books on animals and the author of Daisy to the Rescue.
Currently, Jeff teaches creative writing in Morristown, New Jersey, where he lives with his wife and
children.
