They hope this sacrifice will keep her from terrorizing their town. But the witch in the Forest, Xan, is kind. She shares her home with a wise Swamp Monster and a Perfectly Tiny Dragon. Xan rescues the children and delivers them to welcoming families on the other side of the forest, nourishing the babies with starlight on the journey. One year, Xan accidentally feeds a baby moonlight instead of starlight, filling the ordinary child with extraordinary magic. Xan decides she must raise this girl, whom she calls Luna, as her own. As Luna’s thirteenth birthday approaches, her magic begins to emerge--with dangerous consequences. Meanwhile, a young man from the Protectorate is determined to free his people by killing the witch. Deadly birds with uncertain intentions flock nearby. A volcano, quiet for centuries, rumbles just beneath the earth’s surface. And the woman with the Tiger’s heart is on the prowl . . .

    “A cute story that teaches the colors of the rainbow” from the author of Mermaids on Mars and Circus in the Sky (The Naptime Reviewer).  Roy G. Biv Is Mad at Me Because I Love Pink! is an educational and playful story about learning of the colors of the rainbow. Roy G. Biv is an acronym for the sequence of the hues in the rainbow: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet.   “Singer-songwriter and children’s book author Nancy Guettier finds inspiration in each of her kids to write entertaining children’s stories. Guettier’s style is whimsical and fun, making learning effortless . . . Roy G. Biv Is Mad at Me Because I Love Pink! is centered around Genevieve who loves splashing in puddles after a rain shower. Mostly, Genevieve loves pink; however, pink is not a color in the rainbow. Understandably that upsets Roy G. Biv, who convinces her to experience all the colors of the rainbow.” —MySocialGoodNews.com   “Your children will dive in to Genevieve’s adventure with Roy G. Biv, as he tries to show her that pink is a fine color but she should try other ones as well. Your toddler will learn so much about colors and will be able to associate them with colorful objects they may encounter in their everyday routine.” —TheBabySpot.ca

    Meg’s dreams seem to predict the future—but can she make a better future for herself? “Filled with sensitivity and warmth” (Children’s Book Review Service). “It was crazy to have dreams that came true. If you talked about them, it’d upset the people you loved and make them angry. Meg had learned something bad about herself, an ugly secret.” And so she decided to keep the dreams to herself, writing them down in a special notebook. Sometimes her dreams were pleasant, but other times they were disturbing—especially the one about the cave with the blue light.   When Meg’s worst dreams begin to come true, she’s convinced they bring bad luck. Why else would her father move out to “find himself” or her best friend desert her for a rowdy crowd of older kids? Meg’s grandmother and a wonderful new neighbor finally help her realize that her “secret window” into the future can bring good luck, if understood properly.
