Taro Gomi

Everyone Poops (My Body Science Series)

2017 Mildred L. Batchelder Award Winner Renowned children's book creator Taro Gomi has created another masterpiece. In this beautiful testament to wondering, a young girl gazes out to where the water meets the sky and wonders what lies beyond the waves. Boats filled with toys? Skyscrapers filled with people? Houses filled with families? Or, maybe, over the ocean stands someone not so different from the girl herself, returning her gaze. In this celebration of imagination's power, young readers will find joy in the mystery of the faraway, the unknown, and the just-beyond.

Over the Ocean

Brilliantly rendered drawings show the everyday events that make cities come alive. A simple text details the bus's path and riders, while a subtext challenges children to find a variety of objects and people. Gomi's pictures are beautifully composed, and will appeal to children for their simplicity and to adults for their strong graphics. Plus, this is a fixed- format version of the book, which looks nearly identical to the print version.

Bus Stops

A young girl gazes out over the horizon, and wonders what lands lie beyond the ocean, and what the people are like who live in those lands.

A little girl learns to walk, climb, and study the earth from her friends, most of whom are animals.

My Friends

A brand-new set of refreshingly off-beat picture books from the best-selling author of Everyone Poops From best-selling children's author Taro Gomi comes a set of four new books: Playing, Imagining, Growing, and Sharing. Each book features a different pair of family members loving and learning from one another... seasoned with the honesty, warmth, and eccentricity that Gomi so beautifully delivers. A little boy imagines the journeys that he and his father go on together; a little girl speculates about her mother's life before she became a mom; an older brother thinks back to when he was the baby; and sisters attempt to halve and share everything in their path. Each humorously narrated story is as messy, unpredictable, and endearing as everyday life with a child! Created for ages 2-5 years

Growing Together

A winsome calf provides the backdrop—literally—for this charming story. With each turn of the page, the young animal is imaginatively transformed to reflect some activity of the four seasons: snow melting, seedlings springing up, harvest, all the way to the snow melting again and revealing that—the calf has grown. The story line follows the cycle of the seasons from one spring to the next, and its spare, fluid text—wedded to the vigorous graphics—vividly conveys the underlying themes of renewal and growth. The colors are joyful and fresh, and the artist's playful approach to perspective makes this a lovely picture book.

Spring Is Here

All living things do different sorts of poo. Some are different colours, others have different smells or sizes. Some do it on land, some poo in water.

Everybody Poos

"Taro Gomi's silly and informative potty-training classic is a light-hearted, humorous, and encouraging introduction to all things poop"--
