  Mumma J's Children's Stories

  A collection of playful, often funny, stories to delight children ages 6-10 (and above) 
  While these stories have been written for children to enjoy, like secretly hidden veggies in a hamburger patty, as a parent or teacher you can trust that there is also a lot of nourishing stuff embedded within. Written by a mother who is trained as a primary teacher, the content is based on things that kids love, and the language is designed to develop vocabulary as well as to be entertaining. Many of the stories play with rhyme and invented words and sounds to encourage imagination, and use repetition to develop reading skills. The stories also give a lot of reference to concepts of counting and sequencing which are foundational maths skills. A number of the stories invite the listener to do their own imaginative thinking. This collection gives life to the concept that children learn best when they are having fun.

  A powerful, honest glimpse into a relationship between father and son and between cultures, old and new, about a long-ago fishing trip. 
   
  A 2018 Caldecott Honor Book that Kirkus Reviews calls "a must-read for our times," A Different Pond is an unforgettable story about a simple event - a long-ago fishing trip. Graphic novelist Thi Bui and acclaimed poet Bao Phi deliver a powerful, honest glimpse into a relationship between father and son - and between cultures, old and new. As a young boy, Bao and his father awoke early, hours before his father's long workday began, to fish on the shores of a small pond in Minneapolis. Unlike many other anglers, Bao and his father fished for food, not recreation. A successful catch meant a fed family. Between hope-filled casts, Bao's father told him about a different pond in their homeland of Vietnam. Thi Bui's striking, evocative art paired with Phi's expertly crafted prose has earned this powerful picture books six starred reviews and numerous awards.
