![]() ![]() *"Cozy and subtly profound, this is perfect for one-on-one sharing. *"Sweet, charming and destined to be a favorite."- Shelf Awareness, starred review ![]() An essential purchase for group and individual sharing."- School Library Journal, starred review Tell us about your background and how you came to write and illustrate picture books. Be sure to enter her giveaway of her latest book, FROODLE. One day the little brown bird can’t take it anymore. But when Little Brown Bird decides shes bored with peeping. ![]() Season after season, four neighborhood birds sing the same monotonous songs. Crows caw, doves coo and little brown birds are supposed to peep. Delightful wordplay is the star here, and I’m not sure who would have more fun with it the kiddos listening or the adult reading/performing it aloud. *"This childlike ode to the delights of living each moment to the fullest is an absolute charmer and, like Portis’s Wait, may even encourage adults to notice and relish the world around them. Today we feature Antoinette Portis, author-illustrator of a number of picture books, including the best-selling NOT A BOX and NOT A STICK. One of my favorite books of 2014 is Froodle, by Antoinette Portis. *"Thoughtful without being preachy and meditative without being boring, Now should prove to be a favorite for today-and well into the future."- Horn Book, starred review *"Portis perfectly captures how children experience the world, the immediacy and magic of it all exuberant and quiet, simple and complex, and extremely satisfying." - Kirkus Review, starred review ![]()
