The bestselling series that began with Tree: A Peek-Through Picture Book now adds an elaborate and beautiful board book with peek-through holes that celebrates the coziness of home through the eyes of the animal world. "All of us need a place to rest: A cave, a warren, a pond, a nest. Wherever we may choose to roam, we need a place to call our home." A family of bears wanders through the forest, spying all the different places animals call home, including a bird''s nest, a beaver lodge, an icy river full of fish, and a maze of rabbit burrows. As the snow falls, the bears come home to their own cozy cave to hibernate, safe and warm. This comforting celebration of home and nature will enchant children as they peek through the holes on each sturdy page to spy each animal. It''s the perfect way for families to share a love of science and nature, while cuddled up together in their own homes.

With luminous, evocative illustrations and rhymed texts, this book gently explores the feeling of loneliness through the perspective of a young girl. In a world where many children, and adults, are grappling with such intense emotions, When I Feel Lonely provides a calm, compassionate and understanding voice, helping young readers to recognize and name their feelings. This newest book about emotions from a beloved author and illustrator is a powerful and timely exploration of childhood loneliness. It acknowledges that, while feeling alone is natural and something everyone experiences, it also conveys how unsettling and scary the sensation can be. In her characteristically sensitive style, Teckentrup explores the quiet moments when the world seems distant and we are left grappling with the heavy silence that surrounds us. The narrative doesn''t shy away from the intensity of these emotions, instead offering an honest portrayal of how loneliness can feel like an all-encompassing shadow. The book reassures children that while loneliness can be sad and difficult, it is a part of life that everyone experiences. And best of all it offers a glimmer of hope, showing that even in the darkest moments, there is the possibility of light and connection ahead.

Many stories happen on the farm in a single long day: the children will never tire of tracking them down and playing on. At half past five in the morning, the sun has just risen, the Hopper family still sleeps while the farmer repairs the tractor already. At nine the cows are milked, at afternoon the children have fun in the pool and when the sun is going down everybody gathers for dinner in the garden. On seven huge double-page spreads, the children see everything that happens on the farm on a sunny summer day. And on every spread they will spot Bob Badger, the thief and pickpocket, until he is fortunately caught by the police!

It is evening and the big and little hedgehog are slowly making their way home. There is so much to see, and the little one wants to take it all in. Each step of the way the big hedgehog patiently asks, "What are we waiting for now?" The little hedgehog''s answers unfold in a series of lush landscapes as the two animals wait for the sun to set, for birds to fly by, for the moon and stars to appear, and for the world around them to prepare for sleep. At last, the little hedgehog is also asleep, carried home in the big hedgehog''s arms. Perfect for naptime, bedtime--or for any time that asks that we take a moment and slow down--Teckentrup''s signature combination of simple text and soothing illustration will appeal to readers young and old.

Britta Teckentrup’s latest book for children of every age is a poetic masterpiece about the passage of time. A swing on a hill overlooking the water is at the center of this lovely meditation on childhood, growing older, friendship and loss. “The swing has always been in this place—ever since I can remember,” declares the narrator. “Here we stood together, looking out to sea, waiting for something to change. . . for something new, something exciting. But every day was the same.” But as seasons change and years pass, things do change. Friends come and go, lovers meet and kiss, spring turns to autumn, and the swing set grows creaky with age. All of these changes are gorgeously communicated by Teckentrup’s signature collage paintings that employ soft, radiant colors and simple yet powerful compositions. With its equally compelling text, readers of every age will experience time as a gentle but inescapable force, bringing about new experiences. And as the narrator grows older and wiser, readers themselves will understand that life’s most important memories can never disappear.

A beautiful and timely story about turning fear into courage, and a reminder that though we may face our fears alone, we''re all in this together. Ella sits alone in a boat, battling waves so high they touch the sky. A bodiless voice beneath the surface of the sea tells her it is hopeless, she''ll never find land, she''ll never be safe... But there are kind voices at sea too - ones that offer encouragement, support and the promise of hope. With the kindness of a small white bird, a lesson from a pod of porpoises and the support of a gentle whale, Ella finds her courage and discovers she was never alone.

A picturebook about beautiful and amazing journey of a big hedgehog and a small hedgehog by Britta Teckentrup who won two Special Mention at the Bologna Ragazzi Award. Korean edition translated by Kim Seo Jeong.

A gorgeous and timely meditation on anger. The heroine of this beautifully illustrated story feels her anger like a storm in a dark forest. It sweeps her away, and she thunders and howls. She pours down her emotions like sheets of rain; rage surges like a wind whipping angry waves. Her anger takes her on a wild ride. Appropriate for a wide variety of ages, this book illustrates many aspects of anger that are often hard to articulate — how overwhelming it is, how isolating, even scary. But it also shows anger to be a source of power and an agent for change. Teckentrup’s impactful, boldly colored paintings skillfully evoke the way intense anger can take us on an emotional journey, one that can be both exhausting and affirming. This beautiful tribute to one girl’s experience of anger offers readers the opportunity to make sense of, and talk about their own feelings of rage in a time when that kind of understanding is more important than ever.
