    Little Blacknose is a charming children’s tale about the historic steam locomotive DeWitt Clinton, presented in a storytelling style that brings history to life. The narrative is told from the train’s perspective and follows its journey from creation to its early days of service on the tracks. As “Little Blacknose,” the locomotive faces challenges and doubts, but perseveres through determination, pride, and a sense of purpose. 
    Throughout the story, the train reflects on its origins, the expectations placed on it, and the pride that comes from being part of something greater. Its experiences echo the spirit of early railroad pioneers, showing young readers that progress often comes through humility, effort, and belief. The book also touches on themes of legacy: how even a locomotive’s retirement can symbolize the enduring value of a life well lived in service and ambition.

    For thousands of years, the Elwha river flowed north to the sea. The river churned with salmon, which helped feed bears, otters, and eagles. The Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, known as the Strong People located in the Pacific Northwest, were grateful for the river's abundance. All that changed in the 1790s when strangers came who did not understand the river's gifts. The strangers built dams, and the environmental consequences were disastrous. Sibert honoree Patricia Newman and award-winning illustrator Natasha Donovan join forces to tell the story of the Elwha, chronicling how the Strong People successfully fought to restore the river and their way of life.
