  Water is water, puddle, pond, sea. But now can you guess what else it can be?
   
  Water can be a . . .thirst quencher, kid drencher, cloud fluffer, fire snuffer. Find out about the many roles water plays in this poetic exploration of water throughout the year.
   
  Laura Purdie Salas's lyrical, rhyming text and Violeta Dabija's glowing illustrations make simple yet profound observations about seemingly ordinary objects and encourage readers to suggest "what else it can be!" Using metaphors for a leaf (tree topper / rain stopper), a rock (hopscotch marker / fire sparker), and water (thirst quencher / kid drencher), these insightful picture books creatively highlight a variety of roles and relationships in nature.

  Fiasol and the snug

  Fíasól is a seven year old explosion of joy who lives in the gruesome room in Green Grove in Grasby. She lives here with her mum, dad, sister Pippa, who is eleven, and sister Bidda, who is a teenager. There are also the bone idle poodles Hansína and Jensína. They are so lazy that they can hardly be  bothered to eat their food. They definitely never want to go out in the rain, and they drag themselves out of bed just before noon. They are so terribly lazy that they only bother to chase cats when they’re asleep. This is why they sometimes lie there fast asleep, barking at invisible cats that only exist in the land of Nod. 
  Once, Fíasól thought that pink was the loveliest colour in the whole world. She wanted to paint all the houses in Green Grove pink, and she thought that the Icelandic flag should be pink. Now she has packed all her pink clothes away in a box. She only wants to wear blue and brown clothes because then you can’t really see that they are dirty. 
  Ingo lives in the house diagonally opposite Fíasól. He is nine years old and is Fíasól’s best friend. 
  “We can never move away from Green Grove,” Fíasól says from time to time. 
  “Why not?” askes Mum. 
  “Well, because we always have to live close to Ingo.” 
  Then she has a little think about this. “Mum, if Ingo’s mum and dad decide to move away, then we’d have to move too. However far away.” 
  “I see,” mumbles Mum absent-mindedly. “In that case let’s hope they never decide to move, because I really love living in Green Grove.” 
  “Yeah, me too,” says Fíasól. “I’m happiest when I’m at home in my snug.” 
  “What’s a snug?” Ingo asked in surprise one time when Fíasól said she was going home to the snug. 
  “Ingo, a snug is a small and cosy place where everyone is safe and happy,” Fíasól replied and ran back home to the snug.

  The Painter and the President -...

  George Washington hates sitting for portraits, but it’s the late eighteenth century and cameras have yet to be invented. The president understands that a great portrait is the best way to be remembered by future generations. And who better to help secure Washington’s place in history than Gilbert Stuart, the most talented portrait painter of his day? For his part, Stuart knows that his own name will go down in history if he can paint an exceptional portrait of Washington. 
   
  Sarah Albee tells the story of how Gilbert Stuart’s most famous portrait—the image that appears on the one-dollar bill—came to be. Despite clashing personalities and several setbacks—including Washington’s swollen, aching mouth caused by ill-fitting false teeth—the painter managed to create a portrait of the president that endures to this day. 
   
  “The Painter and the President spotlights the relationship between America’s first president and Gilbert Stuart, one of the many artists who tried to capture his image on canvas. By the time of Washington’s presidency, Stuart had made a fine reputation as a portraitist. Although many of his subjects loved sitting for him, the laconic George Washington was not one of them. Sarah Albee and Stacy Innerst cleverly celebrate this relationship by looking at the many ways the painter tried in order to get a true portrait of America’s first president.”—Mary V. Thompson, research historian emerita, George Washington’s Mount Vernon
