ARROW TO THE SUN
A Pueblo Indian Tale
This evocative tale of a boy’s transformation
into an arrow that journeys between
the sun and earth has been recognized

strong colors and the bold angular forms
powerfully accompany the text; both
color and form are visually eloquent.”

McCULLY, eMILY ARnoLD
MIRETTE ON THE HIGHWIRE
“McCully has created an independent female
protagonist—one with panache and
a soupcon of something out of the ordinary.
A wonderfully exuberant picture
book set in the late nineteenth-century
Paris....A bravura performance.”

McPHAIL, DAVID
PIGS APLENTY, PIGS GALORE!
one minute, the narrator is quietly reading.
The next minute, pigs are descending
on his house—and head—in every
imaginable getup, by every available
means. They make oatmeal in the sink.
They make a miserable, piggy mess.
The pages burst with boisterous action,
outrageous rhyme and wildly colored
costumes. “...A must for all picture book
collections.” —School Library JournalH

THOSE CAN-DO PIGS
“These pig tales read like a cumulative
story-hour poem, where children and
storyteller come up with activities they
enjoy and add verses on the spot, putting
the pigs through the motions. The
frolics depicted in McPhail’s watercolors,
combined with the bucolic ramblings of
verse, make the book a very entertaining
read.” —Kirkus
