Pruett is from Planet Monochrome, where everything is black, white, or gray; everyone follows the rules and walks in straight lines; and they never, ever ask or answer questions. But then Soo arrives from Planet Prismatic. She's bursting with brilliant colors! She zigs and zags all over the place! When she asks Pruett questions, he finds he wants to reply...and his whole world starts to change. With a palette that shifts from grayscale to full color, this engaging story reminds us that what you feel defines who you are--and, sometimes, a friend can help you see that best.

Just One Thing!

In City Street Beat, a young girl travels along a city's twisty road on her way to a friend's house. Together, they embark on an adventure, taking in all the city's sights and sounds. They hear the tippy, tappy clack of high heels on the sidewalk; the strumming and drumming of a three-piece band; the flipping and flapping of dancing pigeons; and more. The girls move and groove to the rock-n-roll and razz-ma-tazz of the city's hip-hop beat using all five senses until at last it's time to say good-bye.

City Street Beat

Things get easier every day. Just watch what I can do today! This affirming story celebrates how baby animals in the forest accomplish goals, whether it’s a baby bear finding food, a young spider spinning a web, or a small bird flying from the nest for the first time. The tender, rhyming text compares these achievements to those of a child who is learning to ride his bike or catch a ball. The perfect story to encourage young readers to try new things or keep the faith when faced with challenges, Look What I Can Do! honors the important milestones that children achieve each day. Praise for Look What I Can Do! "Baby animals strive to “stand up strong,” leap high and “spin a trap.” But learning is full of challenges, distractions and fun. In this message-driven tale, children see how various creatures struggle to develop and gain confidence." —Kirkus Reviews "This gently affirming tale is perfect for parent-and-child sharing and offers many opportunities for discussion." —School Library Journal
