 The Giant Seed
Pigs must get creative when a volcano destroys their home...Fortunately they got busy before trouble hit by planting a huge mysterious seed, for it's the seed plus imagination, as well as a good dose of can-do spirit, that save the day! Arthur Geisert has published just about a book a year for the past thirty years and every one of his books has been illustrated with etchings. He has twice won The New York Times Best Illustrated Award, with Ice in the top ten last year. Geisert lives in Bernard, Iowa. |
 The Princesses of Iowa
What does it mean to do wrong, when no one punishes you? A smart and unflinching look at friendship, the nature of entitlement, and growing up in the heartland...
