My Own Big Bed by Anna Grossnickle Hines

The independent little girl in this snug story loves her brand new big bed but . . . What if I fall out? What if I get lonely? What if I get lost? What if I get scared? Just right for young children making the transition from crib to bed, and featuring Mary Watson's comforting and realistic paintings, My Own Big Bed celebrates self-reliance, eases fears, and -- with a tuck and a kiss from Mommy and Daddy -- promises a safe and cozy night's sleep.

Winter Lights: A Season in Poems & Quilts by Anna Grossnickle Hines

Rich, luminous fabrics.
Eleven miles of thread.
An uncountable number of stitches.

In poems and quilts she captures each heartening glow and flicker, from the moon and aurora borealis to the holiday lights of Santa Lucia, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, and Chinese New Year to one lone candle and a hidden flashlight in the deep, dark night.

Full-color photos of intricate quilts serve as stunning illustrations to 16 poems about the allure of light during dark months. Includes an illustrated note on the making of the quilts.… (more)

Gramma's walk by Anna Grossnickle Hines

Over here crying my face off. What a wonderful book. My own mother had to use a push chair and read her grandchildren many stories. They learned to pick up their toys so she could walk more safely.

5/5 cookies before dinner.
