Ladybug Girl at the Beach by David Soman and Jacky Davis

I love this series of books! The pictures are wonderful and I love the way Lulu entertains herself & overcomes her fears. It rings very true to me.

Boy Who Lived With Bears and Other Iroquois Stories by Joseph Bruchac

I enjoyed reading this collection of 6 tales as much as my daughter enjoyed hearing them. Each story is accompanied by a beautiful illustration by Murv Jacob. The stories sparked some good discussion about kindness, tricking others, the meaning of myths, family, and seasons and weather cycles.
