Help your little ones discover what’s actually happening under those waves—the gliding, glowing, slightly mind-blowing world most of us never see. In God’s Little Oceanographer, kids don’t just dip a toe in—they dive straight into a swirling mix of color, mystery, and real-deal ocean science, all wrapped in reminders of God’s care. Tina Cho has this way of making the vastness of the ocean feel both epic and personal. Whether you’ve got a preschooler counting down to a beach trip or a classroom knee-deep in an ocean unit, this book delivers layers of learning without ever losing its sense of wonder.

Happy Easter, Risen King! by Laura Sassi is the kind of board book that instantly brightens the room, bursting with sunshine through its vivid illustrations and lively, rhyming text. From the very first spread, it pulls children (and the grown-ups reading along) straight into the wonder of Easter. This is a story that doesn’t tiptoe around the Resurrection—it shares the joy of the Resurrection in a way kids can truly feel. What’s the Story? Let’s Follow the Colors This playful, rhyming board book follows the Easter morning story from the quiet stillness of dawn all the way to a joyful, can’t-help-but-smile celebration. Along the journey, children are invited to spot colors tucked naturally into every scene—yellow sun, green grass, gray stone, white angel, blue sky, pink blossoms, and more. If you’ve ever planned something special only to have it tumble sideways, you’ll feel right at home with Little Mole Gives Thanks by Glenys Nellist, illustrated by Sally Anne Garland. Our furry friend has whipped up quite the woodland feast of pinecone pie, acorn stew, and mushroom soup. The kind of spread that would make any forest critter drool. But when each of his invited guests sends their regrets, Little Mole is left with a full table and an empty heart. Some days start with a chocolate protein shake (because coffee is gross). Others start with a checklist, a cooler, and a wagon full of books.
The Great Turkey Chase Begins
I avoid chaos whenever possible. Especially during the holidays when things can get out of hand. Yet there I was, chasing down a runaway turkey through the pages of Adam Wallace’s How to Catch a Turkey. As if the holidays aren't crazy enough. This festive picture book from the bestselling How to Catch series turns a simple school day into a full-blown turkey chase when the star of the Thanksgiving play gets a bad case of stage fright and bolts. What follows is a wild romp through the halls, classrooms, and gymnasium as students try to capture the clever bird before showtime. It’s a zany, rhyme-filled romp that captures the excitement (and slight madness) of pre-holiday classroom life. Welcome to the Pumpkin Patch The other day, I stepped outside and caught the very first whisper of fall—damp bark drifting through the air, apples ripening in the backyard, and that cozy, can’t-quite-name-it feeling. That same autumn wonder wrapped around me when I opened Pumpkin Day for Boo and Belle. This isn’t just a story—it’s an invitation to a world where friendship and forgiveness bloom among pumpkins and falling leaves. Pumpkin Day for Boo and Belle by Laura Sassi is autumn tucked neatly between two covers. With lilting rhymes, swoon-worthy illustrations, and a message as sweet as pumpkin pie, it’s the kind of book you’ll want to curl up with again and again. Keep reading for all the cozy details—and yes, there’s a giveaway too. Because really, what’s fall without a little surprise? |
