Un Merveilleux Petit Rien!

Un Merveilleux Petit Rien!
See below for English description. Le grand-père de Joseph lui a fait une belle couverture quand il était bébé, mais à présent, elle est abîmée et délavée. Joseph ne veut pourtant pas se séparer de sa jolie couverture et il est persuadé que son grand-père peut la repriser. Par miracle, celui-ci transforme la couverture en objets tous plus utiles les uns que les autres. Est-ce que Joseph pourra lui aussi apprendre à faire quelque chose partir de rien? Basée sur le conte hébreu Joseph's Overcoat, l'histoire de Phoebe Gilman fait subtilement découvrir aux jeunes lecteurs un mode de vie perdu. Joseph's grandfather made him a beautiful blanket when he was a baby, but now it's frazzled and worn. Joseph doesn't want to part with his special blanket and is sure that his grandfather can fix it. Sure enough, Grandfather miraculously alters the blanket into useful items again and again. Can Joseph also learn to make something from nothing?

Joseph's grandfather transforms his blanket many times over the years, but what can be done when the final item is lost? Gilman's version of this Yiddish folk tale won the 1993 Ruth Schwartz Award. When Joseph was a baby, his grandfather made him a wonderful blanket. But as Joseph grows older, the blanket becomes tattered and worn. Throw it out! cries Joseph's mother. Luckily, Grandpa is an extraordinary tailor. He can fix anything! And so with a snip! snip! here, and a few stitches there, Grandpa transforms the treasured blanket into a jacket, a vest, a Sabbath tie, a handkerchief, and finally a beautiful button. But when the button is lost, even Grandpa can't help. After all, how can you make something from nothing?In a rich and loving portrait of shtetl life, Phoebe Gilman presents a traditional Jewish folktale about family love and ingenuity that will warm the hearts of readers young and old.

Jillian Jiggs and the Great Big Snow
Rediscover the magic of a snowy day on the 10th anniversary of this delightful Jillian Jiggs story! "Jillian, Jillian, say it's not true. How do you lose all the things that you do?"

Of course, that means the snowscape needs to be turned into Mars, with cosmic landscapes, aliens, and flying space sleds. As the creativity flows, though, Jillian loses not only her hat (again), but her scarf and mitts too! What is Mom going to say? Sledding, snowmen, and wild flights of imagination abound in Phoebe Gilman's first-ever wintertime Jillian Jiggs story. Celebrate a wonderful, snowy decade of Jillian Jiggs and the Great Big Snow with this sparkly 10th anniversary edition of the much-loved story. Have fun, and try not to lose your mittens!
