Blackout
John Rocco
HB $25.99
One hot summer night in
the city, all the power
goes out. What’s a family
to do? When they go up
to the roof to escape the
heat, they find the
lights – in stars that can
be seen for a change – and so many neighbors it’s
like a block party in the sky! The boy and his family
enjoy being not so busy for once. They even have
time to play a board game together. When the
electricity is restored, everything can go back to
normal . . . but not everyone likes normal.

You Will Be
My Friend
Peter Brown
HB $24.99
Today is the day the
exuberant Lucy is going
to make a new friend! But
she finds it’s harder than
she had thought – she
accidentally ruins the
giraffe’s breakfast and is much too big for the
frogs’ pond. Just when she’s about to give up, an
unexpected friend finds her and loves her just the
way she is. This heart warming story offers a
unique and humour-filled spin on the all-important
themes of persistence and friendship.
A House In
The Woods
Inga Moore
HB $29.95
When two Little Pigs
leave their homemade
huts one morning, two
very large friends move
in – Moose and Bear.
It’s very nice to have
your friends stay, but not when they cause your
home to collapse! The solution: build a house in
the woods where all four of them can live together,
little and big. With some help from the beaver
builders and a lot of peanut-butter sandwiches,
that’s exactly what they do.
