A heartwarming, funny, and timely story with a gentle eco message about protecting and respecting the natural world. On a small, rocky island live the Walloos. Spotty Walloo loves to cook, Big Walloo loves to build, Little Walloo loves to grow plants, and Old Walloo loves to tell stories about his adventures. Little Walloo can’t wait to have her first adventure, too! So when the family travels by boat to a tropical island, Little Walloo can't believe her eyes. The air is so moist and fresh, the plants so tall and green. But when the Walloos begin picking the island's leaves and plants, Little Walloo gets a funny feeling. Something is not quite right. What is that gurgle-wurgle-gurgle sound? And is the island . . . moving? From author-illustrator Anuska Allepuz comes a sweet and humorous tale about adventure and discovery—and sensitivity to the living things around us.

The creative team behind I Am Henry Finch offers a picture book Plato for little ones, as Ergo the chick, from inside her egg, contemplates the world—and her place in it.Ergo wakes up and sets off to explore the world. The first things she discovers are her toes. Wiggle, wiggle. Then she finds her wings. Flap, flap. Then her beak. And her legs. She has discovered everything! I am the world and the world is me, she thinks. Until she considers the wall around her. Is that part of her, too? And is that noise from beyond the wall . . . something else? At once humorous and inspirational, this lighthearted foray by Alexis Deacon and Viviane Schwarz is for dreamers and philosophers, the foolish and the enlightened—a picture book experience told with simplicity and style.
